reduced testcase

See test case. In general we don't handle margins very well with selections (e.g. any page that puts all it's contents in a margin: auto container). Here's another case encountered in the real world.

I don't think margins have a direct effect on the issue. I think that the root cause is extending the selection until reaching the float's container. 

I'll attach another case which I think reveals the same issue without margins.

FTR, the issue is clearly reproducible in current trunk.
Comment 4 Javier Fernandez 2017-08-24 04:00:50 PDT 
I can reproduce the issue described in both test cases in FF as well.
