64207 - Links and underlined text should use the same size of underline for all text

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 1777

(Core :: Layout, enhancement)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

Mozilla is using a larger underline, for larger text and thinner line for
smaller text. This is not the case in Internet Explorer, which I believe does
the right thing.

We should have a 1-2px line under *all* underlined text, including links. No
matter how big the text is, it should always have the same size of the underline.

Attachment: How IE (from the left) and Mozilla (on the right) handles underlining of text.

Comment 2

[Håkan Waara]

Attachment: This also looks quite interesting in Mozilla, how text in various sizes - all underlined - looks.

Sheesh! That's an old bug, almost 3 years. I suggest we make bug 1777 dependant
on this one.. or is this a dupe? I'm confused..
