            Bug ID: 157199
           Summary: position:absolute generated content inherits
                    text-decoration from its element
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari Technology Preview
          Hardware: Unspecified
               URL: https://jsfiddle.net/dLqvL2Lz/6/

github.com uses position:absolute generated content to display tooltips on many elements. In Safari Technology Preview Version 9.1.1 (11601.6.17, 11602.1.29), tooltips on links are inheriting the link's text-decoration underline. This does not happen in Safari 9.1, Chrome 50, or Firefox 46.

https://jsfiddle.net/dLqvL2Lz/6/ demonstrates the bug. In Safari 9.1, Chrome 50, and Firefox 46, the words "after content" are underlined in the first instance but not the second. In Safari Technology Preview, both instances are underlined.

Note that the behavior in all browsers is unaffected by whether or not text-decoration:none is specified on the generated content.
