LeaVerou has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-sizing] New value like `fit-content` that properly accounts for `text-wrap`? == Currently, `text-wrap: balance` is unusable with any container that has a visible box (e.g. backgrounds, borders, etc.) as the box does not and cannot account for the text wrapping: <img width="1027" height="157" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a695b409-6fc5-4cd1-8677-b4e5ddd221bd" /> [View in CodePen](https://codepen.io/leaverou/pen/QwjyJYV) Since changing how `fit-content` works would not be web-compatible, perhaps we could introduce a new value (name TBB) that does it properly: <img width="621" height="153" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fb6f1e53-7604-4470-b6e8-2262ba3d0067" /> Alternatively, we could introduce an inheritable "flag" that changes how `fit-content` behaves, e.g. `fit-content-sizing: text-wrap` (again, names TBB). Or, who knows, maybe simply changing how `fit-content` behaves _is_ actually web-compatible. Unfortunately, webstatus [doesn't have any usage data](https://webstatus.dev/features/fit-content?q=fit-content) for it currently.
