@MatsPalmgren I am a n00b so please help me understand. Consider this example: ``` <div id="parent"> Some text <div id="child" style="position:absolute; display: inline"> ``` Applying section 9.7 of CSS 2 to `child`, `position:absolute` forces the computed value of `display` to `block`. Because of which an anon block box is needed around "some text". The children participate in a block formatting context. However, when `position` is assumed `static`, then display computes to `inline` and then the anon block box is not needed because `parent` has only inline children. Also, `parent` now establishes an inline formatting context. -- GitHub Notification of comment by hrj Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3952#issuecomment-533372239 using your GitHub account
