Steps to reproduce:

right click on an image that's able to be copied

Actual results:

context menu came up with TYPE-O

Look carefully at Copy Image
It says Copy. Image (with a period)

Expected results:

It should say Copy Image instead with no period on the Context Menu. And I should win a prize since that's been there FOR A WHILE.

Attached image Copy. Image

Copy. Image instead of Copy Image

This is underline. The under line is interrupted where they would otherwise cross over a glyph by default.

Component: Untriaged → Layout: Text and Fonts
Product: Firefox → Core

Not really a Core bug, this is working as intended from a rendering point of view.

The problem is simply that underlining a single character that has a descender may result in little or nothing being rendered for the underline, because of the conflict with the descender. So perhaps it would be worth considering a styling change of some kind to ensure that the underline remains more visible. A couple of possibilities could be:

(a) Use text-decoration-skip-ink: none to disable the ink-skipping behavior, so that the underline will be drawing right across the width of the glyph. Of course, this may look a bit messy, which is exactly what ink-skipping aims to mitigate.

(b) use text-underline-position: under to move the underline below the descender, instead of drawing it just below the baseline. But this may look worse for characters that don't have a descender.

(Neither solution seems ideal to me, though. Probably I'd lean towards (a), and accept that underlining accelerator keys is just ugly UI.)

I've reproduced this in Nightly 118.0a1 and Firefox 116.0.3 versions on Windows 10 x64.
