Bug Description

Answers question #85493, the tidy & byte compile part of this question was kindly solved by lborgman. But more information was requested about the 'long underlines' part. I have guessed that this could be a bug so I have filed my reply as a bug report.

System Details:
Debian - Testing (squeeze),
Emacs - 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.6)
nXhtml - 1.96

* Long underlines
As requested by lborgman please find below is some example markup which exhibits this problem (Its a simple marketing e-mail 'flyer' for my work). After using tidy if an underlined html/CSS items is immediately followed by a line break/return the underline continues across the page & goes on to the next line to finish @ the next block of text. I have placed 2 screen-shots of part of this code showing the lines problem here:

If I am honest this is more of a nuisance than a major bug but it would be good if it was solved. I hope this information helps.

Thanks arcade for sending this as a bug report.

(You could have made things more simple for you by attaching the files to the bug report. That is possible here, but not in Answers.)

I see now what you mean. Those underlines are not a bug in nXhtml, but indeed I think it is a bug in Emacs instead. I will file a bug report and use your example here for it. Thanks.
