Looks like description flexes but single line titles cause the card to become smaller. Not sure if expected or not ?

Comment 1

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

"expected behavior is cards in a row should have the same height, "

Comment 2

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

Bisect seems to point to bug 1519879 which did change the html for DSCard

Comment 3

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

I believe it's a similar issue where the <a> is no longer the direct child of the grid parent, so when the <a> tries to flex, it flexes to the now <div> parent ??

Scott, can you add verification steps and needinfo Brahmini when you've posted them?

Comment 8

[Scott [:thecount] Downe]

Steps to verify:

1. Set pref http://browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.config/ to {"enabled":true,"show_spocs":true,"layout_endpoint":"https://getpocket.com/v3/newtab/layout?version=1&consumer_key=40249-e88c401e1b1f2242d9e441c4&layout_variant=dev-test-all"}
2. Load about:home
3. Look for a sponsored card that's taller than the other cards in the row.

expected: The other cards in the row's bottom should be aligned with the taller card.

I'm adding a screenshot to compare with Ed's screen shot.
