Description
This looks like a bug: when an argument name is long, then the generated html has a rule above and below the name. Normally, there is only a rule above the name.

Research direction
Reproduce the generated HTML for an argparse option with a long argument name and compare it with the screenshot in the issue. Trace the Sphinx extension's HTML generation path; done means the long name has only the normal rule above it and the generated output is covered by a regression test.
