Sorry but I didn't get what you mean before, I think I got it now.
I'm attaching a new image with the rendering in Chrome vs the one in
Firefox.

I understand now what you mean about the lines 1 and -1 in the case
we've "justify-content: space-evenly;".
For example you think that we should treat line 1 as a "fat line", the
same than we do with line 2. So line 1 would stretch from 50px to 100px.
The same than line 2 stretches from 200px to 250px.
I see it can make sense in a case like space-evenly, I've more doubts in
cases like space-around (each line will have different width) or center.

However, in the first example with "justify-content: start;" the fact
that the last line is a "fat line" too strikes me as odd from the user
point of view.

Anyway, I believe we need some kind of decision from the spec editors
and/or CSS WG about what's the expected behavior for these situations,
and probably a more specific wording on the spec.
