fantasai has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-grid-2] Allow minmax where max wins over min == https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Oct/0076.html > Minmax would be *far* more useful if the max was always respected. Using grid to have a max-width content area but a full-width background is actually really hard without this feature. For a current use case I need to use > > `grid-template-columns: 1fr repeat(4, minmax(20%, 250px)) 1fr;` > > Being able to use viewport units and percentage units as a minimum value while specifying a pixel maximum would make so much sense. Otherwise I'll have to make do with using a pixel minimum, which will means my fr margins will take up no space at smaller viewports, so i'll have to add tedious media queries. > I realize i can set a percentage value and a max-width on the content itself and then set `grid-template-columns to 1fr repeat(4, auto) 1fr` but this is far from ideal. > > I've been trying a lot of different ways to achieve the same layout. Please consider changing this. This is a perfectly reasonable use case, but since min wins over max in CSS in general, we weren't able to solve it by inverting the priority (see [response on www-style](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2017Feb/0021.html). So we need some other, syntactically-different, solution. Suggestions welcome. Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1102 using your GitHub account
