Details

Sometimes, when you select a word in Firefox using the mouse, some nearby words move away with 1 pixel. The URL describes one such case.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the URL connected to this bug in Minefield.
2. In the line that says "Sinorca is based on the website of Acronis, a USA-based computer software company", select the words "computer software company" slowly. Notice that some words move.

Expected results: Selecting the text only changes the text/background color, not the spacing.

Actual results: As you select the text, some words move by 1px. (For example, selecting the word "computer" causes the word "company" to move 1px forward. If you continue by selecting "software", "company" moves back, but other words move forward.)
