1883357 - align-content doesn't apply to table-cell elements

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Attachment: Firefox vs Chrome

On data:text/html,<meta charset=utf8><style>td {height: 100px; background: gold; align-content: end;}</style><table><tr><td>hello</td><tr></table> , on Firefox, hello is centered vertically, but on Chrome, the text is aligned to the bottom

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align/#distribution-block seems to indicate that Chrome behavior is the expected one?

The historic way to do this is to use vertical-align instead, but yeah, it should work. In fact, I plan to do something like this to fix bug 1877719.

Needs a fair bit of work.
