Please, please fix chromium paint order bug
HotCakeX Did you check out those links? There are also several others on the chromium forums. Users regularly resubmit different variants of this paint order bug, but chromium admins have more or less suppressed all of the bug reports by merging them, making them ownerless, and giving them lower than the highest priority, so that they never get addressed.
David Rubino Any chance of this bug being addressed by the Edge Dev team?

don't count.
I was referring to real life examples on website with at least decent daily users. that means no self hosted site to produce a possible bug that Can also be caused by wrongly implementing CSS codes.

HotCakeX I mean, I think j-archive.com gets "decent daily users".
As posted in one of the bugs.chromium.org links in the post that started this thread (which were the links I was referring to), here is some very basic HTML that reproduces the bug:

And. the design of the website is obviously old.
anyway it's not up to me, maybe a developer of the Edge wants to change that behavior.
but i wouldn't call it a bug, specially when it only happens on very specific old websites and needs special situations to produce it.
i wish more people confirmed it in their daily internet usage and website browsing, would definitely help developers better.- RobertKSSep 18, 2019Copper Contributor
HotCakeX Respectfully, to say that it is not a bug, or that it only manifests on "old websites," is neither helpful nor honest. It is obviously a bug, as marked so and as recognized by the chromium developers. No one disputes that it is a bug; the only controversy is what priority should be given to fixing it, and whom should have the honors. As well, the bug affects any website that attempts to both underline and drop-shadow text. This is true whether the website is "old" or "new." And, it's worth noting that the text-shadow property wasn't introduced until CSS3, so any website that has this particular paint-order problem (of shadows being printed above underlines) can't be that old. (The first Chrome to support text-shadow was 4.0, and the first IE was 10.0 [released 2012]. If you're sixteen years old, I can see how 2012 seems like eons ago, but to me, it was yesterday.)
