Summary Add align-self/justify-self dialog behavior to enable UA style for popovers

Reported 2025-10-01 17:25:16 PDT
The CSS Working Group recently added a new `dialog` value for align-self/justify-self in order to represent a better default behavior for popovers: centering by default, but using the position-area defaults when anchor-positioned. See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10258 This is an issue which trips people up a lot when using anchor positioning combined with popovers, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12466 Opening this bug to track implementation of the new CSS behavior, which is required to update the UA stylesheet per https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11656

Due to Web-compat, the CSSWG had to change tactics on solving this problem, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10258#issuecomment-3407215102 Consequently, the `dialog` value has been removed from the specs.
