For your own private definition of "problem" and "correct".
Look, I don't mind that you want the behavior of lynx/slang to change,
but I do mind that you declare the old behavior as a "problem" and
"incorrect" and expect everyone to automatically agree.
You never asked which lines in th code were responsible for the behavior
you dislike, so that you could change it (I could and would have told
you). Instead, you seemed to be demanding that "someone" change it for
all lynx(/slang) users (not just you).
I am willing to bet that, if your change is made in the distributed code,
lynx-dev will get bug reports like "The new lynx doesn't underline in my
xterm any more". Maybe that's tolerable, maybe not. All this is not just
a technical problem, but one of preferences.
