[css-flexbox-1] Initial Value for flex-grow incorrect? #5602
Description
Here you'll find a few paragraphs describing flex-grow and flex-shrink. It says for flex-grow:
When omitted, it is set to 1.
Is this a mistake? According to the property definition table the initial value is 0. So it seems this should be corrected to:
When omitted, it is set to 0.

No, it's correct. This one's a bit funky - the flex-grow component of the 'flex' longhand does not default to the initial value of the 'flex-grow' property.

@tabatkins Ah that's interesting. So, is there something you could add to that explains this a bit? Because it appears to be a contradiction. Or is it explained somewhere else?

Check the note at the end of that subsection, just before the 7.1.1 heading. ^_^
