improving it, which will help out Chrome on Mac users even if Chrome on
Windows goes to a different style of behavior.

This likely isn't what PK was talking about, but it's a good example
in its irony.  Try selecting a paragraph on the front page of
webkit.org; you'll see weird gap painting over the navbar on the left.

Yeah, there need to be more heuristics to suppress the gap extension, especially in the horizontal direction. It's pretty complicated stuff. There is still much room for improvement in the gap painting code.
