This is undesirable and I consider it to be a bug in the CSS specifications. I propose WebKit introduce a new value, -webkit-full (or -webkit-cell-height, or something along those lines). The new value would not make the row height grow, but would just fill any available vertical space (just as 'display:block' fills up any available horizontal space) after the row height has been computed as per current behaviour. Undesired result (but displays correctly per the specs): <!DOCTYPE HTML> <table style="width:10em;table-layout:fixed"><col><col><tr> <td>this cell has loads of (variable) content to make it several lines tall <td><div style="height:100%">not full height of cell</div> </table> Desired option: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <table style="width:10em;table-layout:fixed"><col><col><tr> <td>this cell has loads of content to make it several lines long <td><div style="height:-webkit-full">full height of cell</div> </table> Note, this is not asking for the same thing as bug #5004, bug #12934, or bug #52100 1883199 1 bfulgham 2022-07-13 11:13:52 -0700 It seems like this should be addressed in the relevant WG before we attempt to build something in WebKit.
