I don't understand how this is possible. Why is it easier to compute a percentage height than a percentage padding/margin? The calculations are identical. The reason percentages on blocks work the way they do is because blocks are nearly always auto-height, so in almost all cases percentages can't be resolved, so resolving against the width instead at least gives you *something* useful. In flexbox, the height will often be a definite size, so it makes sense for percentages on vertical padding/margins to be consistent with percentages on heights. ~TJ and fantasaiReceived on Thursday, 14 March 2013 23:58:34 UTC
