If you have "text-decoration: underline;" and "white-space: pre-wrap;" (or pre) all the (non collapsed) white space is underlined, including the spaces at the end of the line that are followed by a break/wrap point. http://jsbin.com/bedefu/1/watch?html,css,output That is what I'd expect based on the spec, but it may not be the ideal behavior in all cases. For instance, word processors / rich text editors don't do this, and if you're making a web based rich text editor using contenteditable and the like, you would want to match. MS Word, LibreOffice, Apple Page or Apple TextEdit all do the same in this case: underline the spaces between the words, but not those at the end of the line. We should probably not try to change the default behavior, given that: - We have interop on the current behavior - In other contexts, the current behavior may actually be what you want (for example, underlines caused by syntax highlighting in vim matches what we currently do). However, I do think this would be worth supporting. Adding "trailing-spaces" as a new value to the text-decoration-skip would be ideal for this. - Florian
