Hi Ken,

I have attached the screenshot here and provided the demo content below.

Try selecting "1. Introduction"  with mouse. An extra space gets selected on IE8.

1. Introduction

Formamides are derivatives of the smallest of the aliphatic carboxylic acids, formTableic acid, and are thus structurally and chemically rather straightforward substances. Two of the simplest members of the family—formamide itself [75-12-7], HCONH₂, and N,N-dimethylformamide [68-12-2], HCON(CH₃)₂—have considerable industrial importance because of their chemical bifunctionality and high polarity. Formamide is especially valued for its chemical reactivity; N,N-dimethylformamide is used widely for its solvent properties.

Hi BiswajitMajumdar,

Yes, I got the same behavior too, will report it to the  development team, once problem is fixed, I will keep you posted.
