css-text-decor §line-decoration (
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor/#line-decoration
) — "Line decorations are propagated through the box tree, not through inheritance" WebKit propagates text-decoration-line-in-effect from a display: contents element to its descendants. Since that element generates no box, it shouldn't act as a decoration source. Source/WebCore/style/StyleAdjuster.cpp:162-172 — shouldInheritTextDecorationsInEffect switches on style.display().value and returns false for InlineFlowRoot, InlineTable, InlineFlex, InlineGrid, InlineGridLanes, InlineDeprecatedFlex. DisplayType::Contents is missing from the list. As a result, line 637-640 of StyleAdjuster.cpp ORs the display:contents element's text-decoration-line into the inherited textDecorationLineInEffect, which descendants then paint. Fix sketch: add case DisplayType::Contents: return false; to the switch.
