Chrome is not properly supporting the CSS3 resize property

[Andrew Graf]

As a developer I have a question regarding the support of the css3 resize property.

I am developing for Chrome Version 46.0.2490.71

Here is the scenario:

I create DIVs and I make them all resizable via CSS.

If I have the "height" and/or "width" set of the DIV via height or width CSS property, I then cannot resize the DIV to be smaller than that value.

Conclusion:

The "height" and "width" are functioning like the "min-height" and "min-width" for resizable DIVs.

Here is an example Stack Question:

Resize is BIG part of CSS3 and I am not sure how this got overlooked but if Chrome is going to be the leading browser then PLEASE adjust the support for this functionality :)

From the specification (my emphasis) -

"The user agent must allow the user to resize the element with no other constraints than what is imposed by min-width, max-width, min-height, and max-height. (The "must" is at risk since only Firefox currently supports this, and may be downgraded to a "should")."

Thank you for looking that up PhistucK!

This is helpful in showing that Chrome is not properly supporting a must have requirement from the W3

[PhistucK]

While this is true, it shows that since only Firefox follows this requirement, the other browser do not and the feature is at risk.

Anyway, you can file an issue (if you cannot find an existing similar one) at crbug.com and reply with a link to it.
