Bug 17887 – Column break doesn't reset child bottom margin

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: NEW

[Andrew Stibbard]

A column break doesn't reset a child's bottom margin as per the note in http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#column5 . Tested on 525.13 (nightly rev 31076).

This might be related to Bug 14881.

Firefox 3 B4 renders this correctly.

Testcase to follow.

Testcase for column break not resetting child bottom margin

Testcase

Sorry, totally unrelated to Bug 14881 (that bug has nothing to do with CSS columns).

I think this is happening because children of div are getting treated as block element, due to this it will try to fit those in the same column and when it is not getting fit in the column then it will  get break to 2 blocks and it will get displayed in the next column..

But in FF it is treated as the inline flow, As I have tried to remove last 2 
<div></div> then I am getting 7 blocks in the FF, But the webkit behavior is quite consistent.

So I thing above is the reason for this issue..and current webkit behavior is the normal expected behavior, as I have tried in IE also their also the children of container div are getting treated as block only..

I am changing this to "New" since all browsers differ with each other and due to size, I cannot post picture or describe their behavior because they are different in many ways. Chrome Canary 107 and Firefox Nightly 106 are still quite close to each other in layout.

I updated the attached test case with this JSFiddle to remove -moz- prefix to make it work with Firefox:
