I'd just like to chime-in here and say that as a dev while I prefer the way that Firefox currently handles this I'd rather not have to set max-height to get columns to wrap. Most of the sites I work on being designed for less tech-savvy people, for me, the ideal situation would be that if I could set the styles on the container to something like: ``` column-count: 4; column-fill: auto min-height: 20em; ``` and any content would: 1. Fill a single column starting from the first until it reaches the min-height value. 2. Start filling the next column as soon as the current column has reached 20em. 3. Start balancing as soon as all 4 columns have reached min-height. That way if the client only pastes in two sentences it will only fill 1 column. Or if they happen to insert the complete works of Shakespeare it will have 4 balanced columns without overflowing the container. My only worry with having additional columns only start to fill when max-height has been reached will be that if the container happens to have a novels worth of text in it you'll get serious layout problems for anything following it and if no max-height is set all text will be forced into one very tall column. Hopefully that makes sense, and if I have simply misunderstood the conversation so far and that is what has already been decided upon feel free to ignore me! -- GitHub Notification of comment by BezPowell Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3064#issuecomment-471666605 using your GitHub account
