Why does Safari render CSS multi-column layout differently?
I'm building a website and testing it on Chrome mostly, intermittently checking if it still works on Firefox.
I figured that, since both Chrome and Safari run on WebKit, they would render the website identically. This is not the case though.
I was checking the site on Safari and I noticed that my menu bar, which uses an unordered list with column-count (both -moz- and -webkit- with the same value), and noticed that there is a difference between the filling of the columns.
Chrome seems to fill the columns evenly while Safari just fills the columns one by one. The images below illustrate this.
Chrome renders:
Safari renders:
I very much like the Chrome way of rendering the columns, so I was wondering if there is a way to force Safari to render the site this way, possibly without altering the html layout at all.
notes: Firefox renders the same as Chrome and needs no fixing. I'm not developing for IE, so I don't know how that renders.
add a min-height to <ul> seems to fix the issue
nav ul { ... min-height:50px; } /* < add */
tested on Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2) for PC
