It is a feature :-). The line-box for the <a> is extended due to your  
text-indent.
That dotted border is the outline added when a link has focus.

It can be controlled, rather obviously via the 'outline property',  
but think 3 times before messing up with this, as it is an important  
accessibility feature (i.e. showing when a link has focus for  
keyboard users).

(without that outline, you don't give any feedback about the link for  
keyboard users).
