> @vanonsopensource (and others), please provide steps that I can use to
reproduce the issue on a fresh install of WordPress. Without knowing how
to reproduce the issue it is very difficult to fix.
As long as you have a theme.json global inline styles will be loaded,
these include this css line:
{{{
a:where(:not(.wp-element-button)) {
text-decoration: underline;
}
}}}
The problem still persists in 6.9.1 (and in the 6.9.2 alpha)
