Re: [css-flexbox] Is intrinsic aspect ratio considered when the flex-basis is definite?

I was under the impression that the minimum size calculation table you
linked to only applied if the flex-basis was `auto`. In this case the
flex-basis is `150px` and the grow and shrink properties are both `0`, so I
assume that means this flex item's main size is guaranteed to be 150 pixels.
