Bug 29404 – [Qt] Webkit apply text-underline even when there is no text

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Text

[Tor Arne Vestbø]

This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-3744
<http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-3744>

--- Description ---

Webkit apply the CSS property text-underline even when there is no text. 

For example, go to http://www.linuxcertif.com/metanews/tout-en/ and move the mouse cursor to one of the little green plus (+) sign. With Qt Webkit, an underscore is visible. The html code to show this image is:

<a href="#">
<span class="action extend"/>
</a>

With the CSS:

  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  border:0pt none;
  height:17px;
  margin-bottom:-3px;
  margin-left:5px;
  margin-right:5px;
  padding-right:17px;
  width:17px;
}

Since there is no text in the span, no decoration is expected.

The bug report is still valid, I have reproduced the issue with trunk.

Also reproduced in Chrome and Safari

I can't reproduce this with Qt 4.7.0 on Linux.

This renders correctly on trunk (but not on Qt 4.7.0)
