I've tried disabled text-decoration, outlines, borders, and everything else I can think of. Using the inspect tool I cannot find anything that would cause these blue lines.

This issue does not affect Firefox.

The text with the blue underline is a span inside of an anchor tag.

You seem to have this problem: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=44100701f93d5951&hl=en

When you press F12 and inspect the elements affected, you should notice this:

a:-webkit-any-link{
...
text-decoration: underline;
}

So maybe adding a stylesheet like this:

a:-webkit-any-link{
text-decoration:none !important;
}

UPDATE : I reproduced it and the above stylesheet, added to your main.css file worked. No need of two ":", it was a typo probably.

Anyway it solved the problem on my PC, try to add it to your main.css and it should work. Thanks!
