This is invalid. The links in the sidebar are within a block of class
"sidelinks" which the CSS on the given URL declares to have text-decoration :
underline.

The text-decoration : none in the CSS applies only to links with any element of
class "navtitlehigh". There are no elements with this class in the given URL. If
the outcome isn't as intended its the CSS at fault, not Mozilla.

Bruce, you have misread the entire problem.  The class sidelinks should have
text-decoration: underline and does have.  The problem is that mozilla 1.5 DOES
NOT DISPLAY the text-decoration of underline when hovering.

This is NOT an invalid submission.  Please look again.  Thank you.

Danley: Are you using XFree86 4.3.0? If yes, this may be a duplicate of bug 195573.

Was the 1.4 release you used an original Mozilla.org release or a package from
e.g. Slackware or Red Hat? The original Mozillas, built with FreeType have this
problem (this is a bug in XFrree86). The RedHat- or Slackware-compiled ones use
XFT, so this does not occur.

The workaround is to get an XFT-enabled Mozilla build (or patch XFree86).

"1.4"... - I meant "the previous version you used that did not have this
problem". :)

Marek,

I have trunk Mozilla 1.4, Redhat 1.2.1 and trunk Mozilla 1.5.  The trunk Mozilla
1.4 was compiled locally by myself and the trunk 1.5, I got lazy and used the
installer.  My 1.4 and 1.2.1 neither one have the problem, but the 1.5 does.

XFree86-4.3.0-2  <== You hit that one on the nose.

Thx.  I will go check out what I did in the compilation of the 1.4.
