Selection overlay becomes off-placed as the player moves farther from the spawn
The selection overlay is off-placed with distance from the spawn, becoming noticeable within several thousand blocks from the spawn. The slightest disturbance in position of the pointer on a block causes the overlay to jitter and distort randomly.
Tested in creative mode, using both the infinite and flat world types. Levels used were generated over various releases (0.9.5 through 0.13.1). Prior to 0.12.1, the issue caused the highlighted area to z-fight.
Shown is a sand block selected at > x=100,000 and stone at > x=5,000,000. Notice that the highlighted area extends off to the terrain in the background around the block's edges.

Hi Russell, 0.10.5 is not available for download on iOS devices.
Yeah, in creative he moves at approximately 11 meters per second, relatively fast compared to other means of transport.

can not reproduce, couldve been fixed.
Pat, I note you're on 0.10.4, not 0.10.5, could you try this and/or the related issues again on the latest release? I'll see if I can reproduce too under android 4.4.2, but it will be a long walk to go 50k from spawn
Has anyone clocked Steve's blocks/second when flying in creative?
Confirmed to affect 0.11.1.
Katt, does this affect 0.12.1 final release?
Confirmed to affect 0.12.1 on iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 9.0.2), distance traveled in the Nether.
Are you near the farlands? the world acts strangely when your really far from spawn point.
Please confirm if this still affects 0.14.1
