[david]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Upon visiting the Wikipedia page on SACD:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_audio_compact_disc , firefox fails to fully
underline the anchor entitled "Audio Engineering Society Convention Paper 5395"
depending on the width of the UA window.

Upon resizing Firefox to make the link appear all on the same line, Firefox
renders the anchor appropriately.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit 
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_audio_compact_disc
3. Look for "Audio Engineering Society Convention Paper 5395"
4. Resize the window so it breaks the anchor over two lines
Actual Results:  
Firefox failed to underline part of the anchor

Expected Results:  
Underlined the whole <a> element, regardless of soft-breaks

Fails in 1.0 and 1.0.1, but works correctly in current trunk, so it was fixed by
something or other over the ten months since 1.0's Gecko branched.
