[csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] What is the max-content width of a muticol container with only column-width:<length> (#9103)

aethanyc has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-multicol] What is the max-content width of a muticol container with only column-width:<length> ==
This is from [bug 1844870](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1844870). See [this testcase](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=9345131).

Firefox 115 puts all the content in one column. Google Chrome 117 & Safari 17.0 create many short columns, and the multicol container's width is way larger than the browser window width.

The only relevant spec I found is a note in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol/#pseudo-algorithm

> The used width U of the multi-column container can depend on the element’s contents, in which case it also depends on the computed values of the [column-count](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol/#propdef-column-count) and [column-width](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol/#propdef-column-width) properties. This specification does not define how U is calculated.
