Description Mike Kaganski 2020-03-10 05:47:47 UTC 
Using "underline" on text including "subscript" parts makes the underline to break (being on a different level and of different width) in the subscripted parts. This makes it look untidy and unprofessional.

Underline should be contiguous for all font effects, being contiguous.

Ok, but kind of seems a dupe of bug 68573?

@Mike?

(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #2)

Most possibly yes; yet I'd prefer to keep it separate because of comments from Khaled, which imply that it might be difficult to fix that for different fonts having different metrics - while in this case, the partial fix could be simpler (just a guess).
