Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Which descendants are skipped in max-lines?

it was, but the original issue was about something else, and the conclusion did not cover that question, so it is relevant to discuss here.

Personally, I don't have a particularly strong opinion, but here is the rationale: (copying a comment from another thread):

> @fantasai and I considered that possibility, but we thought it was better not to skip:
> * We did not think it would make a big difference in implementation complexity
> * Counting lines in nested BFCs doesn't seem to introduce strange corner cases
> * The various reasons block container get BFCfied did not seem to be particularly relevant to the issue of counting lines, do we expect authors will prefer it this way
> * Authors can always turn their BFCs into some other kind of formatting contexts if they want to exclude them (e.g. a single item vertical flexbox)
