I also see this with Windows 2000, Mozilla 2002012608

tho I don't know much HTML, I'm not convinced the whole paragraph should be
underlined (as the reporter states), rather just the link

I see this on Mac OS X, build 2001122106. 0.9.7 release.

The whole paragraph is not supposed to be underlined. The <ul> tags specify an
"unordered list".

I agree that this is a Mozilla bug, but there is some seriously whacked-out and,
in some cases, IE-specific HTML/CSS going on at this page. For instance, the use
of the CSS attribute "scrollbar-base-color". This is derided here:

http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/scrollbars.html

<ul msimagelist> is also present. Whatever that is.

Hmmm. According to the CSS documentation the page needs to specify an element to
underline on :hover.

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#dynamic-pseudo-classes

What the page SHOULD say is 'A:hover {text-decoration: underline;}'.

Regardless, I think Mozilla is dealing with this improperly. If there's no page
element that the :hover pseudo-element is applied to, it should either (a) apply
to everything, or (b) apply to nothing.

This is beginning to sound like a dupe of bug 5693.

Not OS/2 specific

This is bug 5693.  The <p> is hovered, gets :hover but if you hover the text the
<p> loses :hover.
