Minutes and Resolutions TPAC 2011-10-31 Monday Afternoon: @font-face, Flexbox, Multicol, GCPM

CSS3 Fonts

• Resolved: @font-face will be same-origin by default with the use of CORS to relax for HTTP
  

  Flexbox

  • Resolved: flex-order takes
  • Resolved: Publish CSS3 Flexbox as WD
  • Resolved: Absolutely-positioned elements leave behind placeholders (and all that implies).
  • Resolved: Flexbox ordering property named flex-order, not flex-index.
  • Resolved: Not addressing stack axis in Flexbox
  • Resolved: Logical keywords are flex-relative, not writing-mode-relative, when used in flexbox.
  • Resolved: Effective min-width on flexes is a limitation after the initial flex resolution, not while figuring out preferred width of element.
  • Resolved: Minimum width is just min-width; min-content is not an implied minimum.
  • Resolved: For flex-align: stretch, honor max-width, then start-align.
  • Unresolved discussion of visibility: collapse.

  Multi-column Layout

  • Resolved: break-before:column won’t force a blank column when the element is the first in the column.
  • Resolved: Pages work the same as columns – an element at the top of the page with break-before won’t force a blank page.
  • Resolved: page-break-before/after doesn’t create a break if you’re at the top of the page, where at the top of the page means no content has been placed. Borders do not count as content. Zero-height elements count as content.
  • Resolved: percentage in block dimension is computed relative to multi-col element, not column box height
  • Discussed whether margins should collapse between column-spanning elements.

  GCPM

  • Reviewed new features for leaders.
  • Reviewed Opera’s proposal for paged overflow controls. Some concern about defining navigation controls for paged views.
  • Resolved: Publish CSS3 GCPM as soon as all edits are made
