Works fine with 3 <u>*<u>*<u>*</u></u></u> This is not underlined Breaks with 4 <u>*<u>*<u>*<u>*</u></u></u></u> This *is* underlined </u></u></u></u></u></u></u></u></u> This is still underlined. DOM structure ends up like this: <u>*<u>*<u>*<u>*</u></u></u> This *is* underlined This is still underlined.</u> A closing </pre> tag clears the formatting. This affects all formatting specific tags I tried, e.g. bold, italic, font, big, small, etc. Check URL https://dl.dropbox.com/u/175535/bugs/webkit/nested-formatting.html for test cases This *does not* affect formatting applied via span style or class atrributes. <a> tags are also unaffected. Whether or not this is invalid, this

Oops, truncated description. Whether or not this is valid (doesn't make sense to nest <u> might make sense to nest <big/small> though) it seems like a pretty bad failure state.

This also affects <font> tags, but only if all the nested tags are setting the same property.

This changed in r103223. I don't know if this specific change is intentional, but it certainly doesn't match Firefox (I didn't test IE).
