Description

Text selections in VitalSource PDF books can sometimes produce overly-large selection rectangles in Safari that make it hard to discern where the selection ends.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Go to http://localhost:3000/document/vitalsource-pdf
2. Make a text selection that begins just before "Chapter 2" and ends just after "Production possibilities"

In Chrome, the selection looks like this:

In Safari, the same selection looks like this:
