Please implement the multi-column property "break-(before/after):column" It is the only way to specify a hard point to start a new column if the content is not equal in length. Thanks Holger

It would also be nice if -webkit-column-break-after and -webkit-column-break-before worked correctly: -inside:avoid works[0] but lack of -before and -after means it's impossible to use CSS3 columns with "compounds", such as titles followed by sections or definition lists.

Created attachment 461251 [details] Safari 15.6 matches with Firefox but differs from Chrome In the test case from Comment 1, as can be seen from attached screenshot - Safari 15.6 on macOS 12.5 matches with Firefox Nightly 105 but differ from Chrome Canary 106. I am not sure on web-spec but I think we should look into it and if needed align accordingly. Please ignore my comment - if I am wrong but just wanted to share updated testing results. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this JSFiddle test reflects what this bugs tracks closely enough, it seems to be tangentially related only. As far as I can tell, break-before:column and break-after:column are supported, but caniuse.com claims otherwise, so there may be more to this than I see.
