Mouse text selection is broken at the beginning of the word

Reported by papp.rob...@gmail.com, Sep 29 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open https://www.google.com/
2. Open Developer Tools
3. Start a selection inside <body onload="try{if(!google from the word "google" and expand selection by dragging the mouse towards "onload"
4. Slow down around the quotation mark and observe behavior

(Please note that while I reported it with a repro in Developer Tools, I seem to remember that this was broken on some web pages too (which? I don't remember).)

What is the expected behavior?
Text selected correctly, without weirdness.

What went wrong?
Notice that when the mouse cursor approached the first character of the onload event handler the selection disappeared for a moment.

Did this work before? Yes not sure

Chrome version: 53.0.2785.116  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

This seems to only affect selections where the attribute spans multiple lines and the selection is started on the same line as the first character of the attribute (see attached screen recordings).

Able to reproduce this issue in windows 10 with chrome stable version 53.0.2785.116, but this issue is fixed in latest chrome stable version 54.0.2840.59

Please update your browser to the latest version and try this scenario with clean profile and let us know your observation.
Yes, this is confirmed fixed in 54. Didn't even need a clean profile.

However the UI and fonts look really big and weird, but that's another issue.
