I think we should try for an `auto` behavior that could be enabled by default on a website (ideally, if Web-compat allows it, as the initial value). It seems unlikely that people want empty zero-sized tracks to contribute gaps, so it would be a better default behavior to collapse the gaps on such tracks. Suggestion is values `show | hide | auto` where `hide` collapses empty tracks regardless of their size and `auto` collapses an empty grid track (merges the gaps on either side) if: - track is _empty_ AND - minimum size is zero or content-based AND - maximum size is content-based AND - its maximum size is not `auto` OR content alignment is not stretch/normal OR there's a flexible track (i.e. this empty track can't absorb extra space) For grid a track is _empty_ if: - no item is placed in it or spans across it For masonry the track is _empty_ if - same condition as grid wrt explicitly-placed items AND - no auto-placed tracks at all @SebastianZ I think it makes sense to address the case you outlined with spanners; it doesn't seem unusual at all. To do that, we need to know which of the various tracks to collapse if all the spanned tracks are otherwise empty: do we prioritize keeping the first track? the largest track? the track with the most items (unless there's a tie, then what)? -- GitHub Notification of comment by fantasai Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5813#issuecomment-2287101842 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
