Hard / fiddly to edit image when image is aligned with text to side, keeps selecting text not image

[gingerling]

Describe the bug

I am finding it hard to click on an image to edit it in some way, for example to change the size or add a caption. When an image is aligned left or right, with text wrapping it I find clicking the image selects the text blocks to the left/right rather than the image itself. I usually have to click 10 times to get the image dialogue / drag handles to show.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. add an image, left align it
2. Add text, it should sit on the right side of the left aligned image
3. try to edit image by clicking on it repeatedly
4. text to the right selects not image

Expected behavior
image menus and drag handles should show with first click on the image

Noting that improvements have been made on floated elements in #10085 and will show up in version 4.0. Also adding the Needs Testing label to try out and compare 3.9 vs 4.0-rc.1.

This is still happening. On alignment of images and text floating to respective side, The Images can not be resized again if you click away or are simply coming back to edit after saving changes. I found that the only way I can edit the image again is to click on the first letter of the text aligned and hitting back space. That reintroduces the drag lines to resize image. I wish the images where simply clickable and the options appear.

Testing on Desktop
OS: Windows 10
Browser: Chrome 70.0.3538.77
**Gutenberg Version: 4.2.2

@gingerling @bahiirwa since several updates to Gutenberg have been made since the latest comment was posted here, would you mind testing this again with the latest version of WordPress (you should no longer need the plugin unless you are working on developing new features or debugging) and post back here with an update?

I just tested and it appears this is resolved now, so I'll close this.
