I don't think I agree with the proposal. First, an element with `display: contents` generates no box of its own, so `getClientRects()` being empty seems reasonable to me. Then, if `getClientRects()` redirects to children, it can create a disparity with other APIs. Should `ResizeObserver` also return/track the list of sizes of the children? `clientWidth`? Etc. Also, what children would be reported, exactly? - Text nodes have no `getClientRects()`, are they included? - Pseudo-elements have no `getClientRects()`, are they included? Which ones? - Would this choose children in the flat tree? Even if that would expose number of contents of a closed shadow root? It just seems an inconsistent can of worms to me. I think it's better to defer this to authors if they want to do something special if `getComputedStyle(el).display === "contents"`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Loirooriol Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12040#issuecomment-3105579900 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
