Uh... it's really not that hard. The testcase doesn't specify any widths for any of the boxes. So they all end up using shrink-wrap sizing. If there's any space left over after that, it's allocated proportionally to the box-flex values. > But more important, nobody will ever understand what needs to be done > to work around this, i.e. go back to the behaviour all web designers > expect: the first box of the first and second sections should have > same width whatever the content. In that case you need to say what width that is, no? This testcase .... doesn't. -Boris
