In issue 11520, we resolved to suppress gaps that overlap with a fragment break or are the last content before a break. The reasoning was that a page or fragment break already acts as a separator, which is the intended purpose of gaps. See:
This issue is to propose a caveat to that resolution. In Grid layouts, a gap may overlap a fragment break while also being spanned by a spanning item. For example, Take this unfragmented grid:
And a fragment break occurs here:

The result will be:
Suppressing the gap in such scenario would unintentionally suppress parts of the spanning item. Therefore, it makes sense to add an exception so that gaps are not suppressed when a spanning item covers the gap.
