This was discussed at FTF and resolved as follows: 1) Column balancing does apply in multicol boxes with specified height (see http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/issues/129). 2) Overflow from such boxes behaves the same way with or without balancing – columns are added in direction of line flow (balancing is not applicable with overflow) 3) For in overflow, the ‘column-span’ property has no effect. Noted special case: If an element with “column-span:all” does not fit into multicol box, it is pushed to overflow and its ‘column-span’ property no longer has effect. There is a possibility that without “column-span:all” it would have fit within the last column of the multicol box, but that possibility is not evaluated. The element remains in overflow uncioniditionally. Hakon – could you please verify that my summary matches what we have agreed on?

A related issue is the behavior of column-span in overflow, with specified height. If in the following markup some column-span elements appear in overflow, it is to be defined how many columns they span: <div style=“columns:3; height:250px;”> <p>AAAAAA...</p> <H2 style=“span: all;”>BBBBBB…</H2> <p>CCCCCC...</p> <H2 style=“span: all;”>EEEEEEE…</H2> <p>FFFFFF...</p> <H2 style=“span: all;”>HHHHHH…</H2> <p>IIIIIII...</p> </div> We think this rendering would be the most logical: [Description: cid:image007.png@01CB0C71.5C648380] Would you agree?
