Seleting text in a gmail message selects everything from that point up to the top of the first message including subjects, senders, etc. The blue selection overlay flickers on mouse movement between the proper selection and everything up to the top.

It looks like this is an issue with selections in tables that happened between r16968 and 16977 (my guess is r16975). In the testcase, the best way to see this bug is to start selecting text near the beginning of the first paragraph of text and slowly select diagonally towards the bottom right side of the screen. The blue selection overlay will flicker and upon stopping mouse movement, the selection will actually be everything before where the selection was started. If the table only has one cell, it doesn't appear to exhibit the bug unless the display type is set to inline, but if the table has more than one cell, it happens no matter what the display type is, but is more obvious with display: inline.
