@fantasai >Were you referring here to the behavior of abspos elements or of in-flow elements? Because browsers certainly follow that sentence for in-flow content, [afacit](https://www.software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0A%3Cdiv%20style%3D%22display%3A%20flex%3B%20border%3A%20solid%3B%20height%3A%20100px%3B%20flex-flow%3A%20wrap%22%3E%0A%3Cdiv%20style%3D%22background%3A%20aqua%3B%20height%3A%20150px%22%3EX%3C%2Fdiv%3E%0A%3Cdiv%20style%3D%22background%3A%20fuchsia%3B%20height%3A%2010px%3B%20align-self%3A%20end%22%3EY%3C%2Fdiv%3E%0A%3C%2Fdiv%3E%0A).
