Try upgrading to one of the nightly builds used for testing as I have here. They
are usually stable, but as these are the very newest build of Firefox, don't be
suprised if you find more bugs. Usually very stable though. Available at
http://www.mozilla.org/developer/

Thank you.

This was reported also to our bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1811

Report there suggests problem may be specific to Korean-localized version of Windows XP.

Comment 4

[Brion Vibber]

I can reproduce this on the US English release of Windows XP w/
service pack 2 by setting some of the regional options to Korean.

- go to the Control Panel
- 'Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options'
- 'Regional and Language Options'

If you haven't already, install East Asian language support:
- 'Languages' tab
- Check 'Install files for East Asian languages'
- If necessary, reboot.

Set some Korean settings:
- 'Regional Options' tab
- in 'Standards and formats' drop-down select 'Korean'
- If necessary, reboot.

Start up a fresh Firefox, and you'll find that the underline problem
presents itself. Change back to 'English (United States)', restart
Firefox, and you'll notice underlining problem is gone again.

Attachment: Minimal HTML document demonstrating the problem

If on non-Korean version of Windows XP, follow the steps in comment #4. Once
Korean regional settings are on and Firefox is restarted, this document will
show the underline too high on the link text.

With regional settings set to US English, it appears normal, with a pixel or so
of space keeping things legible.

Comment 6

[Brion Vibber]

Attachment: Quirks-mode version of demo, which does not exhibit the problem

With the DOCTYPE declaration removed, the document renders in quirks mode
instead of standards compliance mode. This document renders the underline
*correctly* both with Korean and US English regional settings.

Comment 7

[Brion Vibber]

Attachment: Screen shot of misrendering demo and correct rendering in quirks mode

Screen shot of the above two demo files rendering in Firefox with regional
settings set to Korean.

When set to English (United States), the first demo file renders the underline
in the same way as the second one (legibly)
