In the attached HTML document, select all the text, and then scroll slowly. Gaps appear in the selection. A workaround for this issue is to include an empty, fixed-position element in the document. Using "-webkit-user-select:none;" with this element makes it so that the element is not included when selecting all.

I am able to reproduce this on Safari Technology Preview 176 but it depends on width size of window, I have to reduce window size and then the gaps appeared. NOTE - other browsers support 'gapped' selection, so it would not be possible to match them. Hence, only testing it on Safari.
