when checking my yahoo mail for my bugzilla account info, i selected the
password to copy and paste into the login info. when i deselected the password,
the blue undeline of the link directly above had been removed, as shown in the
attachment..

(i've changed my password since i made the screenshots!)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a webpage that includes a link on one line and text close beneath
2. select the text
3. deselect the text

Actual Results:  
the underline of the link is removed, the part 'touched' by the selection process

Expected Results:  
the underline shouldn't be affected by the selection of text beneath it
a hastily made screenshot of the bug occuring (before and after)
Attached file testcase
I made this testcase by
1. Sending a message to my Yahoo Mail account.
2. Using the "ancestors" and "computed styles" bookmarklets to examine the
Yahoo Mail page.
3. Using http://www.squarefree.com/htmledit/ to construct a "bottom-up"
testcase.

To use the testcase:
1. Select any part of the text "foo bar".

Result: the underline above the entire phrase "foo bar" disappears.

Deselecting and then switching to another window and back makes the underline
reappear.
Based on my testcase, this is a dup of bug 93717, "Underline of linked text
disappears at certain CSS font size settings".
