Flexbox takes all available space if its size set to wrap and in the layout at least one view has match_parent

[andrey-shikhov]

Expected behavior: like LinearLayout

Current flexbox behavior:

Thanks for reporting this.

Looking.

From the first look, it doesn't look like a bug, but a spec for each view group.
(Couldn't figure out which part of the code caused the different behaviors yet though)

In fact even LinearLayout and RelativeLayout behave differently. (RelativeLayout also takes the available space)

[andrey-shikhov]

Similar issue has FrameLayout on older platforms, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4606613/combining-wrap-content-on-parent-and-fill-parent-on-child where Romain Guy agrees what upper behavior is much more common than second.

To fix this issue container should exclude views with match_parent on cross axis before measure and pass exactly measurespec with size of the largest child.

Ok I'm convinced that FlexboxLayout should follow the former behavior.
Thanks.
