Wow! I didn't even realize that bug was there.
The patch went in cleanly, and works as you intended. Underlining and
their corresponding intersection with superscripts now works as people
would expect. I didn't actually commit the changes though due to a new bug
that shows up. If you select a piece of text which is underlined, the
underline disappears for the selection region, and as you drag around, it
starts reappearing in chunks, and this looks rather odd. Before the patch,
the underline never disappeared at all when text was selected.
Is this something you can take a look at before we do a check in?
