This is confusing because the `auto` value for `flex-basis` behaves differently than the `auto` value for `width` (or `height`). And what's worse, if you *want* the width (or height) to be 'automatically sized', you must use `flex-basis: content`. Because the `auto` keyword, even though already part of the `<'width'>` syntax, behaves differently, I completely understand @p2227's mistake in missing it. What a pedagogical nightmare! May I suggest setting `auto` to trigger the 'automatic sizing' behavior, as it is for `<'width'>`, and introduce a new keyword `defer`, which would mean "look at my width or height property"? -- GitHub Notification of comment by chharvey Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/329#issuecomment-298208579 using your GitHub account
