Super fuzzy selection

I can confirm this is happening with me as well.

Comment 3

The fact that both Opera and FF show the fuzzyness, and IE9 doesnt, makes me wonder if the fuzziness might be the _intended_ behaviour. IE9 is poor on standard conformance, so it might not be rendering the text properly

Latest Chromium 25 version Build 167075 also renders like Firefox, so I think IE9 is at fault here. I agree with you mayankleoboy1 on this.

It's probably a dupe of bug 738239.

IE10 RC, Opera12.12  is also rendering the selected font fuzzily. So it appears this is according to the spec itself.
