And now looking back at Håkon's example and seeing that the column count
is constrained to 3 and the height is not constrained, then I see he is
correct the span goes underneath.
But I don't understand why he made that example in the context of overflow
(which is probably why I ignored the column count constraint), which is
what we were debating about?
Afaics, he has no overflow in that example.
Could someone please make a completely specified example, that we can
discuss and for which there is overflow?
