This bug is tracks down an issue as reported for Blink as issue 313593[1]. Description of the issue as reported there is as follows:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Load the following HTML in WebKit:
<html>
<body>

  The House
</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; height: 20px; line-height: 32px;">
  The House
</div>
</body>

What is the expected behavior?
You should see the selection rectangle properly drawn (not too small, not too big) when selecting "The House" in any of the two lines

What went wrong?
You see something like this for the two lines:
 - 1st line: http://goo.gl/4rgBCV
 - 2nd line: http://goo.gl/UToFkb
