Psychpsyo has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-multicol-2] Multicol container with only `column-height` set? == [CSS Multicol 2](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/) says that "an element whose [column-width](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/#propdef-column-width), [column-count](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/#propdef-column-count), or [column-height](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/#propdef-column-height) property is not [auto](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/#valdef-column-width-auto) establishes a multi-column container". This implies that setting only [column-height](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/#propdef-column-height) is enough to make something a multicol container. But later on in the spec, the (normative) [pseudo-algorithm](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-2/#pseudo-algorithm) contains this code: ``` (01) if ((column-width = auto) and (column-count = auto)) then (02) exit; /* not a multicol container */ ``` One of the two is wrong, and the rest of the pseudo-algorithm also does not seem equipped to handle a column-height-only multicol container. I assume this is fallout from column-height only being added in the level 2 spec.
