[css3-flexbox][css3-align] default alignment of a 'column wrap-reverse' flex container from fantasai on 2012-07-04 (www-style@w3.org from July 2012) (original) (raw)

I think it's weird in this case if the new flex line stacks up to the direction where there's no space (left), but if that's the intention I wouldn't say I couldn't live with it (honestly I don't know the use cases of 'column wrap-reverse' anyway).

CSS2.1 uses the 'direction' property of the containing block, not that of the element, to determine the alignment of a block-level box. Ignoring 'flex-flow' here would be consistent with that.

So Tab and I propose to reject this change request.
