Text Selection Highlighting too much on either side because of padding.

![Text Selection Example][1]

How do I fix this using CSS? I've tried a bunch of different things, none of which seem to work. (i.e. trying to use margin and other properties).

I've run into this issue several times and have never been able to figure it out.

If someone could show me how to fix this ( http://jsfiddle.net/JamesKyle/pA7BJ/ ) and maybe explain how the text selection highlight is calculated, I would very much appreciate it. 


Thanks!
