The only case when
{ min-width:25%; width: auto }
is different from
{ min-width:25%; width: 100% }
is when:
a) parent has width set to some non-auto value
b) this element has non-zero padding, margin, border expressed in
non-percentage units.
c) container width is less than sum of all padding, margin, border (of the
element) expressed in non-percentage units divided by 25% (so multiplied by
4)
I don't think that this has any practical (or usable, or predictable) sense
for a human being.
