Fixed now. We went with matching Grid's behavior - spacing is added *in addition* to the gutters, giving Florian's behavior #2. While I agree that this has slightly unfortunate implications with multicol's default column-gap, we think it's more important to have a consistent behavior than to give this a slightly different behavior that's slightly more optimal by default. > Also, even in browsers that do support justify-content, if the width of the multicol is "just right", you may end up with no space between the columns at all, which seems pretty bad too. Grid has the same behavior, and is solved the same way - you can set up your minimum values with a combination of *-gap and padding on the container, in a ratio that matches the desired distribution, then the distribution spreads out the extra space accordingly. > I also wonder whether column-fill: auto that doesn't fill all of the columns should cause some of the columns not to be generated[...] This seems to require a distinction between two different stretching behaviors: one where all of the columns are stretched to fill the multi-col, and one where only the filled ones are stretched. We could make a distinction and say that `normal` and `stretch` operate on all columns whereas the other values cause the empty columns to be dropped, but that seems a bit weird.
