Also: 
  in <span> the mouse pointer is wrong,
  and for unknown reasons <span> is positioned on the next line
Example page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<body>
<table width="700">
  <tr><th>Row select test</th></tr>
  <tr><td><a href=".">Line1<span style="position: absolute; left: 200px;">The
first description</span></a></td></tr>
  <tr><td><a href=".">Line2<span style="position: absolute; left: 200px;">The
second</span></a></td></tr>

Yech.  That's a pretty broken set of style rules (what _is_ the expected
behavior for text-decoration when you have block children of inlines, which is
invalid anyway?).

I suspect that we should never be drawing the underline on the positioned span,
and that this is a dup of bug 1777

But there are some other interesting layout issues here with parenting of style
contexts.  The positioning issue depends on interpretation of the CSS spec.

The bug reporter's original title, which should have been in the comment as
well, is (in case it gets changed):
"<a> with <span> with absolute positioning loses its style after the first time
a mouse in over it."
which is a problem that I actually don't see -- it doesn't lose its style for me
until I try to select it.

    
    

    
  
Whoa! I got a three-way mid-air collision trying to add these comments, so here
we go again...

I see this too, win98SE, 2001112903

Steps to reproduce :

1. Load the sample HTML file attachement (above), observe positioning of
descriptions: I'll leave the CSS experts to igure out what this SHOULD do.
2. mouse over the links on the left, observe "link select" cursor.  
3. mouse over the descriptions, observe "text select" cursor.
4. force a window re-paint, e.g. by maximising the window, observe the
descriptions are now black and not underlined.

Adding "testcase" keyword

By vertically resizing the window, I can also see the style getting lost.

I have a fix for this.
