    It’s 2024 and flexboxes still don’t work that well with vertical direction and wraparound…

        Sure. Here you go. The green container should cover all red boxes in both cases. I’ve been bashing my head against this issue for a while, but, as far as I understand, this is a bug that’s never going to be fixed. Which sucks, because I wanted to re-design some of the apps in the horizontal metro-style scrolling manner for the bottom screen on my zephyrus duo, but this effectively prevents me from doing so (Unless I use grids and set positions manually).

          That’s interesting. Chrome displays it as you intended, Firefox doesn’t. I guess it’s required that the vertical flex be inline-flex?

            Huh, neat. The last time I looked, chrome was also plagued by this. Might actually re-start some projects I had, but it sucks to have to use chrome.

            inline-flex is indeed necessary since we’re growing left to right and flex would take the entire/fixed width, unless it’s also inside a flexbox.

              I also hate to admit it, but Chrome currently is the superior browser.

                EDIT: Alright, this is a terrible case because the parent element has flex and therefore no inline-flex is necessary there, but I’d argue it’s the parent element being flex that is redundant, rather than child element being inline.
