That's an awesome solution, even though it feels a little hacky.

I'll use that for now, but I really think there should be put some more 
thought into what I've pointed out. Horizontal menus are one of *the* 
use cases for flexbox* and so they should work as "expected". I know 
it's not easy to suit everyone's needs, but this really seems important 
to me.

* For layouting, Microsoft's grid system is better suited, I think
