      <div  style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;height:100px;">
          <div style="flex: 0 0 100%; display:flex;">
            <div style="overflow:auto;flex: 0 0 100%">
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
              <p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
            </div>
        </div>
      </div>
  </body>
</html>


Actual results:

inner flexbox have a height of its child box if it has a child,
have a 100% height of its parent if has no children


Expected results:

should have a 100% height of its parent in this case, this worked in latest stable chrome

min-height should be set 0 for flex element, if you want the expected results.

See, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/34/Site_Compatibility#CSS

So, I think this should TE bug.

Thank you Alice, so I think chrome didn't follow the spec in this case right? I got this link
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=487302
BTW, the computed style for min-height in firefox inspector is still min-height:0px.
Good sleuthing -- it looks like Chrome's behavior is exactly that issue. [adding to "see also" field]

Also: Alice0775 filed bug 1176808 on the inspector "min-height:0px" thing you mentioned, too -- thanks for mentioning that.

Closing this bug here as INVALID, since the reported behavior isn't actually a Firefox bug.
