> On X displays, when an overlay's face has underline (or overstrike

I understand that in your case you use underline as a way to "draw
a line" so you want the line to extend to the window-edge, but when the
underline is really meant as "this text should be underlined", extending
the underline to the window-edge is truly ugly.
