Re: [css-flexbox] Making percentage margins/padding consistent with Grid

Grid layout uses non-standard (for the rest of CSS) approach: percentage
calculation there happens against imaginary box established by grid lines
so auto width/height of the grid itself is not dependent of percentage
calculations
on its children strictly speaking.

But even in grid case I am not sure actually what should happen with rows
having min-content height when their children have
height:120% in some cell. What would be the computed row height?
