Sometimes it's hard to select text if it's also a link. You have to get to the exact pixel edge, and sometimes that doesn't even work. I get so frustrated and give up. Is there anyways to make the boundaries for highlighting text larger ?

Confirmed with r24087; this is something that often annoys me, too. Troublesome spots on the bug URL: 1) Movie names, selecting from left to right. The very first one can be selected easily, but the subsequent ones are tricky. 2) "Avg. Customer Review:" text, also selecting from left to right.
