@Nadya678, this whole issue has been resolved in #2085. The whole note about the "variance" has been removed from both [css-flex-1] and [css-grid-1] specs, since the single option for calculating margins/paddings of flex/grid items has been chosen. All browsers decided to switch to Chrome's behavior. P.S. Please cite the latest Editor's drafts (e.g. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox/#item-margins), which usually incorporate the most recent edits, instead of /TR/ publications, which can be rather outdated. |
Not to mention, "sucks" accurately captured the suckitude of the variance. |
Well, that's a I nice euphemism... The harsh truth is that Chrome's developers refused to implement what the specification said (which was a consensus decision in the CSSWG, btw) thereby forcing other UAs to change for web-compatibility reasons. Shame on them. |
It definitely was not a WG consensus, pretty much by definition, as Chrome/WebKit disagreed with Firefox/Edge. Please don't rewrite history. |
They disagreed after the decision was made. Meanwhile they shipped an intentionally non-conformant implementation thereby establishing fait accompli due to their dominant market position. Then the spec was updated to allow either behavior. Please don't rewrite history. |
Find some other venue if you want to continue this. |
