Hi Rasmus,

Thanks for following up and sorry you didn't get a response on lyx-users.

In LyX 2.4.0 (not yet released), there will be a preference to control whether added text is underlined in LyX's display. You can see how it will look in the attached screenshot.

In case you're curious, here was the feature request that was implemented: https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10102

If this issue is annoying enough that you would like to test a pre-release of 2.4.0, we can give you information on that. The main problem is that any LyX file you save with a 2.4.0 pre-release could not be opened in LyX 2.3.x, meaning that if you are working with someone else, they would also have to use a 2.4.0 pre-release. So it's best to wait until 2.4.0 is officially released if you can.

Best,
Scott
