css flexbox IE11 flex item content breaks out of container

Question

Managed to get a flexbox layout work in Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera.

Would like to make this work in IE11, or know for sure that it is not possible.

I have read about IE11 issues and tried setting height 100% on the container, without success. IE11 content overflows vertically all containers except body.

html,
body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}
body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}
.header,
.footer {
  height: 2em;
  flex: none;
  background-color: orange;
}
.content-wrapper {
  flex: 1 0 auto;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: white;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}
.content {
  flex: 1;
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 60em;
  margin: 0 auto;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  background-color: red;
}
.main {
  flex: 1;
  padding: 1em 1em 0;
  min-width: 12em;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  background-color: blue;
}
.main-body {
  flex: 1 0;
  background-color: yellow;
}
.main-toc {
  order: -1;
  background-color: green;
}
.nav {
  order: -1;
  flex: 0 0 auto;
  width: 12em;
}
pre {
  position: relative;
  padding: 1em;
  margin: .5em 0;
  overflow: auto;
  border-radius: 0.3em;
  max-width: 100%;
  background-color: silver;
}

Codepen with the above code

Answer 1

Add flex: 1 0 auto; to .content (in css).

See Codepen.
