CSS text-decoration: underline for HTML details and summary does not work in Safari but does in others browsers like Firefox

CSS text-decoration: underline for HTML details and summary does not work in Safari (desktop, mobile and Tech Preview) but does in all the other browsers I have access to.

HTML
<details>
  <summary>Some Words...</summary>
  Some More Words...
</details>

CSS
details {
    text-decoration: underline;
    border: 1px solid #aaa;
    border-radius: 4px;
    padding: .5em .5em 0;

}
summary {
    text-decoration: underline;
    font-weight: bold;
    margin: -.5em -.5em 0;
    padding: .5em;
}

Goto https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/summary

Add: text-decoration: underline to details or summary elements in Safari.
details {
    text-decoration: underline;
    border: 1px solid #aaa;
    border-radius: 4px;
    padding: .5em .5em 0;

}
summary {
   text-decoration: underline;
    font-weight: bold;
    margin: -.5em -.5em 0;
    padding: .5em;
}

No underline - works in other browsers

I am able to reproduce this bug with simpler test case in Safari 15.6 and Safari Technical Preview 150 on macOS 12.5:

It works across all other browsers - Chrome Canary 106 and Firefox Nightly 105. It was fixed in Chrome in following commit:

Use case: underline summary to suggest that element is clickable

I have a design where expandable elements are underlined to suggest that they’re clickable. The only way to implement this is to wrap the text into a <span>

<summary>
  <span style="text-decoration: underline">
    Contents
  </span>
</summary>

Fixed it locally by just adding following in return function here:

https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/Source/WebCore/style/StyleAdjuster.cpp#167

&& parentNode->parentOrShadowHostElement()->isMediaElement();

Happy to do PR unless if someone think above is wrong way to fix it. :-)

EWS was wrong, and the fix didn't work - see bug 257832.

Do we want to keep the change anyway, or to revert it?
