 From https://www.12000.org/my_notes/l2hwin/index.htm   it says
down the page under "Some errors and possible solution"

"some of the bitmap images produced for the mathematics
in the document have a solid dark bar, usually at the
bottom or the side of the bitmap image. The reason for
this is unknown. But I found by trial and error that
setting the following values in my l2hconf.pm eliminated
most if not all of these

   $MATH_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.8;
   $DISP_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.0;

Some mathematics equations are still underlined, even
after doing the above. I found this was the case when I
was using linux. If you still see the underlines, then
try the following: edit l2hconf.pm and set the value of DVIPSOPT as follows
            $DVIPSOPT = '-E' ;

"

You could try the above and see if it works for you.
