BTW, this has been removed from Chrome too past year:

Note that in the discussion they pointed to an issue that happens when
you remove gaps paining, you don't know if you've selected a newlines or
not: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=474759

As pointed out by Darin on the bug, an issue with selection gaps is what
happens with the new layout methods like Flexbox and specially Grid
Layout, where the visual order and the DOM order can be completely
different.

My 2 cents,
