Details

In TextFrame::PaintTextDecorations(), we draw the underline as a simple rectangle. This is not correct, at least on the Mac, where the underline is a broken line under letters with a downstroke (pgjQq...). We should use NS_FONT_DECORATION_UNDERLINE and let the rendering context do the right thing.

I forgot to reduce the default priority... Feel free to reduce it even more.

Resolution: --- → WONTFIX
Closed as WontFix. We can't let the OS draw the underline: the text decorations are drawn by Layout to support HTML 4.0 (the underline can be of a different color from the text, for instance)

Marking Verified/Won't Fix.
