Making flexbox container override content height? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Why don't flex items shrink past content size?
1 answer
I'm trying to use Flexbox to get a layout where I have a bar along the top, and content for the rest of the page. A test case is at:
http://game-point.net/misc/flextest/
Interestingly, Google Chrome already behaves the way I want it to; when the viewport is sized too small vertically (all browsers seem to do what I want horizontally), the content in the content div overflows the div, and Chrome displays a vertical scrollbar for the content. However in Edge and Firefox, when the viewport is sized too small vertically, the content div itself is never sized to be vertically smaller than its text content, and therefore it overflows the viewport, causing the entire viewport to get a vertical scrollbar rather than just the content div. Here's the difference:
Chrome:
Not Chrome:
Which of these browsers is implementing flexbox correctly, and how can I get Firefox and Edge to scroll just the content box, as Chrome does, rather than the whole viewport?

If it doesn't go against other ideals in your project, you could fix the height of the containers so that the scrollable area renders correctly.
div.header {
height: 72px;
}
div.content-container {
height: calc(100% - 72px);
}

Turns out I needed to remove content-container and just have content directly in the outer container div.

That's not the optimal solution, nor does it address the underlying problem. You needed to usemin-height: 0oroverflow: autoon the content item.
