--- Comment #12 from Stephan Sokolow <kde_bugzilla_2 at ssokolow.com> ---
For some additional information, here's what else I found.

First, https://tug.org/pipermail/texworks/2016q1/006411.html (a reply to a
report of the same bug in Texworks 2015) claims that the mechanism by which the
bug occurs is:

1. The underline's position is determined by the font
2. Depending on how the font positions the underline, it may get clipped away

Second, it's been reported as https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-50499 with
the claim that the bug should be fixed in Qt 5.10 and a request for the fix to
be tested that no one has responded to.

It's also observed that using `QTextCharFormat::WaveUnderline` instead of
`QTextCharFormat::SpellCheckUnderline` functions as a workaround.

(Something I can confirm on Kubuntu 16.04 LTS's Qt 5.5.1 with the PyQt5 project
that led me here, but it does so by being tall enough that only the bottom
third of the wavy line is clipped away.)
