UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.91 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Try to select text in block using mouse dragging, holding left button

What is the expected behavior?
Text selects well corresponding to cursor position.

What went wrong?
It selects from the end of the line. See the attached gifs.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.91  Channel: stable

I tested this in chrome and opera - works the same way in both browsers.
And in other engine browsers it works correctly.

Second gif is a "hacked" block. It seems like the first varian should work correctly.

Thanks!
