one 'f' selects two 'ff'

Reported by xftroxgpx@gmail.com, Apr 28 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3083.0 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/getting-started.html

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. navigate to a webpage that contains any text with two or more consecutive 'f' chars, eg. words like 'differences'
ie. https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/getting-started.html
2. search for 'dif' so it finds the first word: 'differences'
or try with the mouse LMB to select 'dif' not 'diff' from that word.

What is the expected behavior?
'dif' is selected

What went wrong?
'diff' (both 'f's!) is selected

(a copy/paste shows you can only select either 'di' or 'diff' but not 'dif'; in other words, what you see selected is what really is selected, it's not just a visual thing)

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 60.0.3083.0  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

Similarily, selecting "dif" selects the "difi" in the word "modified"

Works in firefox, however the selection of 'diff' kind of cuts into the second 'f' by like 1 pixel.

Including video demonstrating the issue. Font is: DejaVu Sans according to 'Computed' tab.

in the search input(Ctrl+F) selecting the 'f's shows different colors for the 'f' chars depending on which direction the selection comes, but selects right.

also tested with this chromium version

on pristine environment with not settings modified and no extensions added
(but still with that long cmd line)

When selecting 'dif' in page contents with the keyboard instead of with the mouse, then I can copy/paste 'dif' or 'diff'; but with the mouse it's either 'di' or 'diff' - 'dif' cannot be selected.


This video shows:
1. 'di' and 'diff' with mouse ('dif' cannot be achieved with mouse)
2. then 'dif' and 'diff' with keyboard (shift+rightarrow, when selection was started already with mouse)

In the Find input box (Ctrl+F) selecting 'dif' and 'diff' are both achievable with mouse.
