63528 - Links don't show up when editing a document

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[scottputterman]

I assume if others are seeing this that there's a dup out there, but I couldn't
find it.

When I open a existing document or when I create a new one, links no longer show
up with the blue underline so I can't tell which ones I've created links for.

yes, there is absolutely no visual indication that a link has been created,

This has to be some weird layout bug. I removed any extra styles concerning <a>
in editor's override style sheets with no effect. Needs more investigation.
Very important to fix this.

Tony knows more about layout and has a much better chance of figuring this out.

Noticing on Linux 2001010517 too (mozilla 0.7 candidate)

After discussing with Marc Attinasi, I have the fix for this.
Since we added "aPresShell->EnablePrefStyleRules" to nsEditorShell.cpp so user
rules will not affect editing, the link underlining is not set. Fix is simply to
add:
a:link {
  text-decoration: underline;
}
to EditorOverride.css.

Simply added this:
/* We suppress user/author's prefs for link underline,
   so we must set explicitly
*/
a:link {
  text-decoration: underline;
}
to editorOverride.css
