I can't reproduce on Version 57.0.2957.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) MacOS.

Could be Windows specific but I can't check right now.

I can still reproduce this on 55.0.2883.75 (64-bit) stable.

(Note: the end click position is a little right-bottom side of "阅读原文")

I can reproduce the issue both on Windows 7 and Debian 8 in Chrome 31, 54, 57.
Firefox 50 has no such problem.

Able to reproduce the issue on the latest canary(57.0.2978.0) of Windows-10, Mac OS 10.12.2 and Linux Ubuntu 14.04. This is non-regression behavior seen on older chrome version: 30.0.1549.0 as well. Worked fine Microsoft Edge works fine.

Marking this as Untriaged for more inputs on this. Attached is the screen-cast of the chrome behavior vs Microsoft Edge behavior.

Summary: Can't edit selection with shift-click if user clicks bit far from a element. (was: Drag to selection the whole page content operation cannot select the full text inside the <a> link element)
Clicking inside <a> element causes site loading so this issue is about
 behavior when user shift-click near outside a element to adjust selection range.

The root question is how far from a element we should permit to select it?
Edge permits large length over <a> element clickable range.
Other browsers permit shorter length that is inside <a> element clickable range.
