If the flex container has an indefinite size, then its size depends on this flex item's size, which depends on the flex container's size (due to flexing). In the condition currently in the spec, a flex item can rely on an indefinite sibling's size, but not on its own size. Let me know if that makes sense, or if it still seems weird. (Fwiw, we did clarify that if an item with a definite flex basis is inflexible, it is considered definite. [1]) [1] https://hg.csswg.org/drafts/rev/fbcbe170c119 ~fantasai
