           Summary: Selections include the full page width
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Text
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ojan at chromium.org


A common issue people have with selections in WebKit is that they extend to the full page's width. This is especially problematic since using margin:auto is such a common technique for centering multi-column layouts (e.g. http://peter.sh/examples/?/css/flexbox.html).

It seems to me that in general we should restrict selections to the border-box (content-box?) of the containing div. Are there cases that would break?
