SVG text with filter not painted property when there is a selection and visibility is toggled

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Inspect <https://cloud.netlifyusercontent.com/assets/344dbf88-fdf9-42bb-adb4-46f01eedd629/e43727eb-d265-4aec-9bbe-b803b3c0a367/splash-svg.html>
2. Run the following snippet in the console to toggle the visibility of the text every second (it will blink on and off every second)

setInterval(() => {
    let elem = document.querySelector(".filtered");
    if (elem.style.visibility === "hidden")
        elem.style.visibility = "";
    else
        elem.style.visibility = "hidden";
}, 1000);

3. Select part of the text, like the "a" in "splash"
  => When the text tries to re-appear nothing is painted but the selection box

Compare to behavior without a selection.
