I need help understanding why the border size is not matching the size I set in my CSS rules. Here is a link to the fiddle and below is the HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>P inside Body</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheets/working.css">
</head>
<body>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam,

fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?
</p>
</body>
</html>
And here is the CSS code:
body {
background-color: antiquewhite;
border: 10px solid black;
padding: 10px 20px 30px 40px;
margin: 10px 10px;
box-sizing: border-box;
color: darkblue;
}
p {
width: 400px;
padding: 10px 10px;
border: 3px solid red;
box-sizing: inherit;
}
While inspecting the <p> element, the border size does not match 3px precisely, instead it appears as 2.222.

Any ideas why this discrepancy is happening?
Update
I am using Chrome Version 46.0.2490.80 (64-bit) on Mac OS X Yosemite. The issue seems to be specific to Chrome's inspection tool. When I tried in Firefox (Version 41.0.2), the border displayed the correct size of 3px. The same was observed in Safari (Version 9.0 (10601.1.56.2)). Both browsers showed size 3px.
Any insights on why Chrome is behaving differently?
