@SebastianZ While this would have been the correct thing to do originally, the multicol properties have existed for a long time and have relatively high usage, so there's no way to change them now. As such, adding a display:columns value would have zero effect; we'd still have to support the use of the multicol properties on blocks. > I think the exclusions in Flexbox and Grid should be solved by updating Multi-column and saying that these properties only apply to block containers. Yes, this is a better solution than excluding them explicitly from other display types. @MatsPalmgren Given that Grid doesn't have a decent fragmentation story in the first place, speccing that they have to work together like that doesn't seem the best. ^_^ But also it wouldn't be consistent with other things - you can't do that with display:table, for instance. Also, in general we *want* to promote using the extra element; it's *not* redundant, as people can reasonably want to control the same properties differently for the grid and the multicol, such as margin and padding. Adding more anonymous boxes doesn't help. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1352#issuecomment-300934081 using your GitHub account
