Hello  
For complex layout which I use flex container, when I want to select a component in it, the selection box is shift equal to last components width in row. This make editing so hard.

> For those having issues, are you using flex container inside of a flex view? There is a bug that was fixed for the 8.0.6 stable release that fixed the selection bounds when deep selecting components in that container.
