[css-flexbox] Abspos change web compat risk

Hey everyone,

I brought this up to Tab at the CSS F2F meeting that the change to how abspos items are placed in a flex container broke Google docs. We now have a bug that has broken flipboard.com for the same issue, here is a reduction[1] of the issue.

I personally agree with the change as it makes sense with all of the align-content props that are in flex and grid. I personally don't think we should revert this change, but also wanted to have a WG discussion regarding it.

At this point, IE is the only one that has made this change (that I'm aware of) so I have attached a screenshot to show the issue as well (I don't believe this change made it into the tech preview) for discussion.

Thanks,
Greg
