127821 - Residual underline on a:hover with text-decoration:underline

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect, P3)

Description

[Davide G. Borin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020415

Moving the pointer from bottom to top of the link list, the third and the fourth
links ("Soluzione ai problemi di posta" and "Virtual Network Computing (VNC)")
show a double height underline when "hovered" and the lower(?) line doesn't
disappear when the pointer moves away.
The problem doesn't appear moving the pointer from top to bottom and this
movement clears the residual underlines too.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.webforma.it/supporto/
2.Move the pointer from bottom to top in the links list (from "Area riservata"
to "Istruzioni per la lettura dei log generati da Webalizer")


Actual Results:  The third and the fourth links ("Soluzione ai problemi di
posta" and "Virtual Network Computing (VNC)") show a double height underline
when "hovered" and the lower(?) line doesn't disappear when the pointer moves away.

Expected Results:  All links should appear the same when "hovered", without
residual underlines.

Both HTML and CSS are validated with W3C validators.

I see no problem with build 2002022503 on Win2000

[Mathias Bogaert]

Unable to reproduce. Build ID 2002022408 win2k

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I see this, linux build 2002-02-24-06.  Painting bug -- simply moving another
window on top of the mozilla one fixes things.

WFM Linux (Debian potato), build 2002022221.

Attachment: residual hover underlines

Comment 7

[Christian Campbell]

The original URL works for me, but <http://www-test.cise.ufl.edu/> exhibits
similar behaviour to that originally described. Mousing up over links leaves
residual underlines that get erased when moused down over; mousing down in the
first place works fine.

Also, the underlining is too thin on the larger text. In attachment 110641 [details] the
mouse (invisible) is hovering over the lower left text, "Facilities and
Administration." The lower rule should be the same thickness of the upper rule
under that link's text.

Is this still a problem?

[Davide G. Borin]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031210

Still wrong.

Attachment: Tescase

Tescase for residual underline. It shows the bug also on windows. Try to hover
the links from sides or from below.

[Anders G. Jørgensen]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090804 Minefield/3.6a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Can't reproduce using the testcase.

Probably fixed whenever we made text-decorations contribute to overflow areas.

[Gordon P. Hemsley [:GPHemsley]]

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
