Embeded FlexContainer - Overflown components get offset

Ignition

I encounter an irritating behavior: I use a lot of SVG's from the simbol factory in flex containers with position=absolute, preserveAspectRatio=none and position and dimensions like height,left, etc specified as %.

When i deliberately set a pipe for example to reach outside of the view (no matter in what direction) to connect to other adjacent drwings wse, those component always get offset and displayed a bit lower(usually) both in designer and web browser. Coordinate container is not an option. I must use flex containers to accomplish the goal of the project.

This problem It looks like it does not occur when using position=relative, and/or overflow hidden,But only in cases when position=absolute as it is mandatory when I need to place things on top of each other in flex containers.
I encountered lowering Offsets even for simple labels and any compnent or misplaced embeded views so it looks like its not related to a specific object/component.

It does not matter if overflow is visible or not. In both cases offset happens.

I hope I expressed myself understandable.

Is there a way to avoid these offsets?

here is a reprodused view, and trying to reproduce by grabbing only one piece from a complex view, I found the cause of the issue also. So thanks for asking for a demo view.
