chromium-html5<https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-html5/>is
better suited for this discussion (I have posted this reply in both of
the groups and kept google-chrome-developer-tools as a BCC recipient).

The difference is that Chrome sets the width of the box according to the
longest sentence in the box (before the text is laid out in a multiple
column layout) and then applies the multiple column layout.
Firefox sets the width according to the finally rendered content.
I prefer the Firefox behavior, of course, but the specification defines the
right behavior. Read it and create <http://bugs.webkit.org> a WebKit bug
(if you have not found existing bugs) if Chrome (and Safari) is doing the
wrong thing.

I'm not sure I follow. The spec page
at http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#the-multi-column-model has this in
the column width algorithm section:

(19)  if (column-width != auto) and (column-count != auto) then
(20)    N := min(column-count, floor((available-width + column-gap) / (column-width + column-gap)))
(21)    W := ((available-width + column-gap) / N) - column-gap;

I don't where the spec says how to determine the "available-width" value, unless I'm missing something. Specifically, I don't see a reference to "the longest sentence in the block." In my case, the available width would be almost 100% of the screen. How is Chrome computing such a narrow width?
