[css2][css-align] Last Baseline Alignment of Scrollable Boxes #766
Comments
We discussed this during Feb 8 CSSWG telcon and decided to continue working on the issue here. Removing the Agenda+ label for now. |
The concerns from the call were wrt Web compat vs use cases: no browsers implement the css-align wording above, but the CSS2.1 erratum (which is also not interoperably implemented) does not allow useful handling of last-baseline alignment in situations that have overflow. |
In other words, when the content doesn't overflow, Myles' text and Align's text give the same results; when the content does overflow, they give slightly different results, but Align's makes more sense (actually aligns to text). |
The CSS Working Group just discussed last baseline alignment of scrollable boxes. The full IRC log of that discussion

CSS Align had this sentence, which has been sitting around for awhile:
CSS2.1 had this sentence:
Myles raised an issue against CSS2.1 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Mar/0342.html requesting a change to make
overflow
have a less dramatic effect baseline alignment. which the CSSWG later accepted https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Apr/0144.htmlI'm reraising this issue because I think the wording in CSS Box Alignment seems to solve Myles' issue in a somewhat more useful way, and perhaps we should reconsider how last-baseline alignment works in the presence of
overflow
.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
