I can tell you by experiment that if you make it inherit from underline, it will once again by indistinguishable on the linux console. > No let's sort this case, and leave behaviour otherwise unchanged. Absolutely! > RMS can decide which solution to use. 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.
