CSS Flexbox Cross-Browser Inconsistencies

I&#x27;ve noticed a lot of, relatively minor, inconsistencies since switching to flex-box. It definitely takes a while to adjust to them and iron them all out. At this point, now that it&#x27;s working, I&#x27;ve mostly forgotten what the quirks were.<p>But I agree with the author, there was a lot of trial and error moments to get the layouts we wanted working across browsers, and even then there were some unexplainable quirks that we just couldn&#x27;t figure out and had to back away from and take different approaches.<p>IE, as usual, seemed to have the biggest issues. I recall that one issue was it didn&#x27;t behave consistently if you left out the flex-basis value. So instead of `flex: 1`, you would find that fully specifying `flex: 1 1 auto` would behave more consistently in certain situations.
