Oh, sorry -- when I sent that last email, I was under the impression that there might be implicit consensus, but I only just now noticed Dave Hyatt's email with an alternate suggestion. Quoting him: On 05/16/2013 01:57 AM, David Hyatt wrote: > My preference would be to just change "auto" to have this behavior, > and then make a new keyword for "always use my width/height." Dave: To clarify -- under your proposal, would we keep the flex-basis initial value at "auto" (with your suggested new "auto" semantics, thereby changing default behavior), or would we change that initial value to be the new always-use-my-width/height keyword (with the old auto semantics)? Also, isn't it a bit risky to make a significant change to what "flex-basis:auto" does for a at this stage in the game? In particular, any authors who have copypasted one of the suggested "Common values of flex" strings like "flex: auto" or "flex: 0 auto" would have their content broken, if we changed what "auto" means. (And their content would stay broken until they replaced it with "flex: use-my-width-or-height" or "flex: 0 use-my-width-or-height"). Generally, I feel like this fix is disproportionately large / breaking, as compared to the scope of the original issue that Tab was trying to solve in this thread. ~DanielReceived on Wednesday, 22 May 2013 02:53:00 UTC
