CCing Hyatt and Mitz as they often work on these sorts of bugs.

> Safari Dev Tools > Layers > Enable Paint Flashing and open side bar to see paint and notice the area of painting.

Repeat in Chrome Developer Tools > Run Command > 'show paint flashing rectangles'

Chrome seems to only paint limited area while Safari is painting larger area.

@Vitor - I just noticed this but my testing could be wrong, so I CCed - Alan and Simon for their insight as well (another opportunity to learn something new here).

This could very well be just us repainting one (certainly larger) area instead of many small ones. Needs debugging. This doesn't have much to do with _text_ itself though.
