[css-align][css-tables][css-flex] Synthetized baselines seems like a breaking change · Issue #373 · w3c/csswg-drafts (original) (raw)

The new specs states that baseline alignment shouldn't happen to synthetized baselines when alignment happens in a container with a top and bottom instead of just a text line (something along those lines).

This is a breaking change for flexbox and css-tables, and I think we should talk about this now.

Also, about synthetized baselines, I understand tables align to baselines even things that have a synthetized baselines, and I don’t think we wanna change that. Maybe we need to clarify that somewhere?

Yes, we need to do that.

Where do you think we should write that statement? In the table spec, or as part of the changed text you introduced?

I am also worried there might be compat issues for flexbox that would prevent us from doing the change there. I think that's a question we should bring up to the Working Group for consideration.
