Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] Shouldn't column-fill: auto take min-height into account?

I'm failing to find the part of the spec that says that a height is required on the multicol element for `column-fill: auto` to take effect. I may very well be missing something, but it seems to me that `column-fill: auto` is already supposed to fill column sequentially regardless, and if the height of the column is not constrained, then the first column gets all the content.

These does not seem to be required by the spec, and while Chomre/Safari seem to do that, Firefox does not.

Example 27 in the spec is also trying to show that the first column should get all the content when both height and column-fill are auto (although I don't think it is conclusive due to interference from the widow and orphan properties, and only having 3 lines).

So, with that, it seems to me that letting min-height expand the auto calculated height of the column that needs to be filled is a work-around a webkit/blink bug, and that the real solution is to do it the way Firefox does it.

Am I missing something?
