--- Comment #3 from Ming Hua <ming.v.hua at qq.com> ---
Although I can reproduce the described behavior, I'm not really convinced that
characters have different width after being italicized is a bug by itself --
after all, as can be seen in the sample document, many other letters have
different width with upright and italic forms, too.  It is, of course,
understandable that users would expect non-breaking spaces to behave the same
way as ordinary spaces on this issue.

The "broken underline" thing, however, is definitely a bug, therefore setting
to NEW.
