If I were setting the line breaks manually I would prefer the height-constrained result for your first example, and the previous non-height-constrained result for your second example 😁. But that’s just an effect of the particular content, width, and styling, and not something I think we can automate in general.

I look at text-wrap-style: balance as an input to a single composition, communicating a single intent for the block. What happens to the height as that input is flipped doesn’t really matter to me, that’s an entirely different composition. I worry a bit that if we add the height constraint there will be cases where more balanced line breaks would have to be rejected. But I don’t think that worry is enough to reject the idea.

@kojiishi , @fantasai , @frivoal what do you think?
