Additional update
-----------------

I have entered 8 test results today; now coverage is 100% for Gecko and 
Blink:

Blink: Passed 75.29%, Coverage 100%

Gecko: Passed 26.47%, Coverage 99.41%

The very low passed percentage for Gecko is due to the fact that, before 
2016 (or before Firefox 52), Gecko was *_not_* supporting unprefixed 
property names. Today, Firefox 52+ supports unprefixed multi-column 
property names. So, the 170 tests would have to be re-taken with Firefox 
in order to get reliable, updated test results.

3 quick test reviews:

1-
wrong reference file in

http://test.csswg.org/harness/test/css-multicol-1_dev/multicol-fill-auto/

I am 99% sure I have reported that before.


2-
Pass-fail-conditions sentence is not too clear, a bit obscur when 
printed (if the test mentions "even when printed", then I would think 
that "paged" flag is missing):

http://test.csswg.org/harness/test/css-multicol-1_dev/multicol-height-002/

     html, body { height: 100%; }
     div {
     ...
     height: 150%;
     }
implies that <strong>only and exactly 2 pages</strong> must be printed 
in print preview or in a page media view.


3-

http://test.csswg.org/harness/test/css-multicol-1_dev/break-before-always-001/

line 7:  <meta name="flags" content="page">

It should be "paged" and not "page".

Also, we usually start such print-related test with the preliminary:

"
PREREQUISITE: Switch to print preview or a page media view of the page.

Test passes if only and exactly N pages are printed and if ...
"

and then follow-up with other pass-fail-conditions if the test requires 
more.
