&lt;heycam> Topic: What happens to the mbp of the empty fragment created by a spanner being first-child of an element<br>
&lt;heycam> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2552<br>
&lt;heycam> rachelandrew: this may well be that it is covered, not convinced in the text<br>
&lt;heycam> ... when we resolved last time on 1072 about when the spanning element is a first child, we end up with an empty fragment, and the mbp ends up above it<br>
&lt;heycam> ... you get this strange issue, not specced, that if you have mbp its gets split across the columns<br>
&lt;heycam> ... I dont think it's behavior people want to expect<br>
&lt;heycam> ... would like it to be sure it doesn't happen<br>
&lt;Seinnd> whats going on in here? Who are you talking to heycam?<br>
&lt;heycam> fantasai: I think the fragmentation spec doesn't allow breaks within padding<br>
&lt;heycam> ... it's not possible to split it across all 3 columns<br>
&lt;heycam> rachelandrew: is this something that should be specced?<br>
&lt;heycam> fantasai: I think it should be ok, you can write a test for it<br>
&lt;heycam> ... the top mbp should all be as one unit in a single column, the only reason to ever split is if you have a situation where the fragmentainer is too short<br>
&lt;heycam> rachelandrew: so might not be an issue in the multicol spec<br>
&lt;heycam> florian: if the spanner is a child of a thing with a top margin...<br>
&lt;heycam> ... in general it's a thing that makes sense if it's the first thing<br>
&lt;heycam> ... earlier today we added properties to opt out of this problem<br>
&lt;heycam> rachelandrew: at the moment the behavior is not what anyone would want<br>
&lt;heycam> ... so probably can close this issue, I will check this<br>
&lt;myles_> is the a web platform test for this?<br>
&lt;fantasai> rachelandrew, https://www.w3.org/TR/css-break-3/#possible-breaks<br>
&lt;heycam> RESOLVED: close this issue no change<br>
