Actually it might take even less than 5 lines of code to change it. You can see the fix here: https://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=commitdiff;h=8e62dcc20fc226deb7fb48a9934391d2f9a0c712;hp=7c63896c601f43ced313b74e04336235ff09212e On a quick look, my guess is that it would be feasible to modify 2.3.x. Are you on Linux? If you can compile LyX, then we can take a look to see how difficult it would be to backport the relevant code. Most of the diff above is about adding a preference, but you just wanted "no underline" hardcoded so you don't need to actually have the code about the preference. Best, Scott
