Sometimes the first word of a line is selected.

How frequently does this problem reproduce? (Always, sometimes, hard to
reproduce?)

Sometimes.  It is a bit hard to set this up sometimes.

What is the impact to the user, and is there a workaround? If so, what is
it?

This is blink's touch selection issue, and probably not specific to chromeos. Rick, do you know who'd be a good person to look into?

Summary: Double clicking to the right of a google search result selects text on the next line (was: Long pressing upper area near text will select far away text )
Yes, I can reproduce this outside of ChromeOS and touch.  Eg. double-click with a mouse to the right of the green URL text and it selects the first word of the next paragraph (see attached screenshot with double-click location identified by the mouse cursor).

To Blink>Editing.  In general this space is complex and challenging - this may be a symptom of a larger problem.

It seems this is caused by visible position canonicalization, which we could not explain what it does... :-<
