[Affected platforms]:

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Launch Firefox.
2. Access next webpage: https://blocklist.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p428 
3. Manually select the 2 rows title <Java Deployment Toolkit (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection.> 

[Expected result]:
- The 2 selected rows are displayed properly, all the letters are being visible.

[Actual result]:
- Letters like J and p are being cut by the second selected row, more precisely by the word beneath the first selected row. 

[Additional notes]:
- Reproducible on Edge
- Not reproducible on Chrome and Opera
- This happens because of the page's line-height styling
This is more like a layout issue. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Component: Graphics: Text → Layout: Text
We probably should give selecting background a different display item in the display list so that we can put it in a lower place than all text? I think we want similiar effect for text-shadow as well.
Bug 1221865 is for the same issue on text-shadow.
