getText() does not get sub-element's inner text if the sub-element is in between the inner text of the element in Google Chrome

getText() does not get sub-element's inner text if the sub-element is in 
between the inner text of the element in Google Chrome.

Say I have a Web Element with following HTML structure:
<td>.....
<a ...> text1 </a>
text2 <a ...> text3 </a> text4
</a>
...
</td>

and I try to run .getText(), I am getting the following outputs:
FireFox: text1 text2 text3 text4
Chrome Build 38: text1 text2 text4

From what I read in WebElement documentation page, output for the FireFox 
should be the expected output. I am using ChromeDriver v2.12. I also tried to 
run with ChromeDriver 2.11 and 2.9.

can you provide us the exact  HTML and test client software so that we can 
reproduce the case.

It works for me. Is there any CSS that is hiding the text3 element? If you 
could provide the full HTML it would help us investigate this.
