Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] Defining what happens with column-fill in unconstrained containers for continuous and fragmented contexts (#4689)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Defining what happens with column-fill in unconstrained containers for continuous and fragmented contexts`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Balance before spanners always`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;Rossen_> Topic: Defining what happens with column-fill in unconstrained containers for continuous and fragmented contexts<br>
&lt;Rossen_> github https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4689<br>
&lt;Rossen_> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4689<br>
&lt;fantasai> rachelandrew: Last F2F resolved we want to go with behavior that Firefox has wrt column-fill<br>
&lt;fantasai> rachelandrew: and falling out of that, spec text doesn't say anything about spanners, should we always balance before spanners<br>
&lt;fantasai> rachelandrew: clarification was that where firefox is putting everything in one column, need to clarify if that happens before spanner or not<br>
&lt;fantasai> rachelandrew: does that trump column-fill ?<br>
&lt;Rossen_> q?<br>
&lt;Rossen_> ack florian<br>
&lt;Zakim> florian, you wanted to say I am still confused as how the switch proposal solves the circularity problem<br>
&lt;florian> q-<br>
&lt;florian> q+<br>
&lt;Rossen_> fantasai: we should be balancing between spanners... pretty sure that was our original intention<br>
&lt;fantasai> rachelandrew: Can't think of a use case for not balancing before a spanner<br>
&lt;Rossen_> ack fantasai<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: Further clarification, should balance from start of current fragmentainer<br>
&lt;Rossen_> ack florian<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: previous fragmentainers are independentof that<br>
&lt;Rossen_> ack dbaron<br>
&lt;fantasai> dbaron: I think I agree that balancing before spanner is the right thing<br>
&lt;fantasai> dbaron: Brings up question of whether current balancing control is the right thing<br>
&lt;fantasai> dbaron: do you balance at end, before fragment break, before spanner ... three things<br>
&lt;fantasai> dbaron: do we need more controls? or do people don't really care so much about the others<br>
&lt;Rossen_> q?<br>
&lt;fantasai> dbaron: Balance before spanner seems fine<br>
&lt;florian> q-<br>
&lt;fantasai> Rossen_: +1 I think that's what we did in our EdgeHTML implementation of multicol<br>
&lt;fantasai> Rossen_: Any objectins?<br>
&lt;fantasai> s/tins/tions/<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: Balance before spanners always<br>
