"http://daringfireball.net/ is another site that has the same problem, likely
for the very same reason. I expect this will happen on any site  uses a large
left margin on the main content to lay out around an absolute-positioned
sidebar. Some sites use floats for this kind of thing and are not affected. I'm
not sure what the best fix is. Maybe we should be stopping selection painting
at the border box and not draw into margins. I'm not sure if this would have
negative consequences on other sites."
