OT but the text selection behavior on this page is fascinating! (Or horrific if you don't want to be nice). I've never seen anything like it.

That's fine for me, but I'm getting ligatures for every st. I thought it was deliberate (and a little pretentious really) but you're not getting them so hurray webfont or something I suppose.

31.0.1650.48 here as well.

It appears to be a bug with a combination of the ::selected pseudoelement in conjunction with the font Georgia. My guess is it's a Chrome-on-mac bug (Firefox is fine), not a site coding error.

Disabling either the font or the selection style fixes it. Most likely a text rendering issue. At work we've noticed Chrome getting buggier in relation to that, as well as retaining DOM node properties via redraws.

Odd. I can't replicate on any browser but I don't have OSX. Does it work fine on your other browsers?
