A community-curated reference cataloging flexbox rendering bugs across browsers, each with live demo pages and documented cross-browser workarounds. It is explicitly no longer maintained, as most listed bugs are fixed in modern browsers.
Use cases
- fix flexbox layout breaking in safari or internet explorer
- flex items overflowing their container workaround
- min-height not applying to flex items in a flex container
- cross-browser flexbox compatibility issues and fixes
- flex-basis ignored or calc() not working in flex shorthand
- align-items center causing column flex items to overflow
- debug why my css flexbox layout behaves unexpectedly
When to choose
- you are debugging a flexbox layout that misbehaves in a specific browser and need a known workaround with demos
- you must support legacy browsers (older Safari, IE/Edge) where flexbox implementation bugs are common
- you want a per-bug reference linking live repro and workaround demos
When to avoid
- you only target modern evergreen browsers, where most listed bugs are already fixed
- you need an actively maintained resource or up-to-date bug reports
- you are looking for a code library, polyfill, or linting tool rather than documentation
