Section (7) in the test page shows two problems with underlining in nglayout. First, setting "text-decoraion: none" on a child element should not turn off an underline set on a parent element. This may seem counter-intuitive, but there are good reasons for it. The CSS WG is likely to add functionality to turn off underlining at a later point. Section 5.4.3 in CSS1 describes the behavior: "This property is not inherited, but elements should match their parent. E.g., if an element is underlined, the line should span the child elements." The second problem shown on the test page is not about CSS, but how white space is collapsed in nglayout. I belive the underlined space character after "have a" and "the text." should have been collapsed.

The underlining works as specified now. Kipp: what about collapsing the trailing whitespace?

Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.

The trailing space issue is covered by bug 4248. I will mark this bug as such and copy the comments over. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 4248 ***
