[css-position] Behaviour of semi-replaced elements. · Issue #6789 · w3c/csswg-drafts (original) (raw)

For buttons and inputs, behavior seems inconsistent across browsers; in particular, it seems WebKit just treats buttons (and inputs) like any other box, so seems like that would be a reasonable direction to go in given the other browsers are very inconsistent? In any case, should be a separate issue if we need to address anything in the spec.

Doing this breaks this particular WPT test:

etc.

Currently we (Blink) have different behaviour in the inline/block axis which we were about to fix (with zero insets, should still shrink-fit, instead of stretch).
