@cbiesinger Yes. When we only had Flexbox, it didn't matter what it computed to on abspos elements, unless they also happened to be children of a flex container. But when we extended `align-self`/`justify-self` to all absolutely-positioned elements, we realized that honoring `align-items`/`justify-items` on the *parent* would be a confusing form of action-at-a-distance in the (very common) case of an absolutely-positioned box's containing block being an ancestor that is not its parent. So we needed to break the parent-dependence on absposes. Lemme know if that makes sense. @yisibl I am not sure what's going on, given you didn't post any source code, but I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to this bug report... -- GitHub Notification of comment by fantasai Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/440#issuecomment-276582225 using your GitHub account
