It's only "consistent" if you really want this to be an underlined
face. If you actually want it to be distinguishable, it should use
something else (eg colour).

I can tell you by experiment that if you make it inherit from
underline, it will once again by indistinguishable on the linux
console.

Absolutely!

Decide between what choices?


I do think this needed changing, because buttons were
indistinguishable on the console as you said. I really regret that I
got it wrong and spawned yet another big discussion on a small issue.
Sorry all.
