Webkit CSS3 column adds an extra padding to its container.

Question

I've created a CSS3 multi column layout for image gallery which looks nice on Firefox.

HTML :

<section id="featured">
<article>
    <img src="http://sheepy.me/incoming/images/posts/blog/thumb_tim-burton-pokemans.png" />
</article>

</article>

css :

#featured {
    width: 730px;
    padding: 20px;
    -webkit-column-count: 2;
    -webkit-column-gap: 10px;
    -webkit-column-fill: balance;
    -moz-column-count: 2;
    -moz-column-gap: 10px;
    -moz-column-fill: balance;
    column-count: 2;
    column-gap: 10px;
    column-fill: balance;
    background: #7d90a5;
}

article {
    width: 300px;
    display: block;
    background: #344252;
    -webkit-column-break-inside: avoid;
    -moz-column-break-inside: avoid;
    column-break-inside: avoid;
    padding: 10px;
    width: 335px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}

article img{
    width: 335px;
    display: block;
}

The problem is, when I am using Chrome browser to open it up, it adds extra space at the bottom of the <section> which I have no idea to fix it. I've search the web and found this thread but I am not sure if it's the same issue.

Check this fiddle link and try open using both Chrome and Firefox.
