Subject: bug#30609: 26.0.91; underline should be drawn behind text
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 15:05:29 -0800

I don't know if it's true on all platforms, but at least on the mac the
text decorations (like underlines) are drawn after the glyph causing
them to overlap the descenders. Typically underlines are drawn behind
the characters as they are less important than the characters
themselves.
I'd be happy to submit a patch to change the order if no one sees a problem with this.

Maybe some day we a text-decoration-skip equivalent, but that's a bit
beyond my capabilities at the moment :)
