See the previous message for details: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Jul/0598.html Summary of this issue: §3.4 of css3-multicol uses a "shrink-to-fit" variable that is used when the available width is not know. This is in direct contradiction, if only in the naming, with §10.3.5 of CSS 2.1 that defines in "shrink-to-fit" based on a known available width. The obvious contradiction could be avoided by using another word in in the multicol algorithm, maybe "preferred width" or "preferred minimum width". But the result does not make much more sense. It seems this part of the algorithm is trying to define the preferred/intrinsic widths of a multicol element. I think that it should just be removed, and the preferred widths left undefined so that css3-multicol can progress. They can be defined later, maybe in css3-sizing. -- Simon SapinReceived on Tuesday, 25 September 2012 17:03:40 UTC
