I think height on flexbox items (in a single row container) resolve against the height of the container, which is not explicitly set in this instance, so "collapsed" items would be correct. The doctype thing is probably indicative that the dimensions of
<body>or<html>are different in quirks mode (I think. Maybe.)What I'd do is set a min-height on the flex container (
100vhif you want it to cover the viewport, for example), and then remove the height on the flex items: the default alignment is to stretch them (align-items: stretch), so they'll be 100% tall anyway. See my edited gist. :-)
