Normalize.css: Fieldset min-width property

[ahmadalfy]

Fieldset has an intrinsic min-width value set to min-content. Basically if it is not limited to the width of the its parents, it horizontally expand to fit anything inside it.

Adding this will prevent this behavior:

fieldset {
  min-width: 0;
}

I think it would be useful and will prevent that odd behavior. Any thoughts?

Do different browsers handle that differently? If not, then that's what we would call an opinionated rule.
The goal of this project is just to standardize between browsers – not so much to correct consistent bad defaults across all browsers.

I will confirm, so far it is the same across edge, Chrome and Firefox

This won't work in firefox.

Damn is this a recent change? Just noticed this, googled, and landed here. Is there a global fix for all modern browsers yet?

Maybe this post can help you: https://thatemil.com/blog/2015/01/03/reset-your-fieldset/

@rellect According to that article, the Firefox fix is:

body:not(:-moz-handler-blocked) fieldset {
  display: table-cell;
}

I'm adding both fixes to my project Vitals right now.
