Bug 210144 – [css-flexbox] Out-of-flow boxes should not be children of anonymous flex items.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: CSS

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

Text node children of a flexible box are wrapped in anonymous flex items. Consecutive text node siblings should be merged in the same item.

But we should not skip merging out-of-flow (absolute positioned) elements.

This causes failures in the following two WPT tests:

https://wpt.live/css/css-flexbox/anonymous-flex-item-004.html
https://wpt.live/css/css-flexbox/anonymous-flex-item-005.html

This two test pass on firefox. On Chrome currently only the 004 passes. Tracked at https://crbug.com/788379
