Given a flex container
figure { display: flex; align-items: flex-start; }
and a 300x300 image with its flex-basis set at half its intrinsic width:
figure img { flex: 0 0 150px; }
Chrome 41 and Safari 7 ignore the aspect ratio and display it as 150px x 300px:

Firefox 35 on the other hand keeps the intrinsic aspect ratio intact:

figure { display: -webkit-box; display: -moz-box; display: box; display: -webkit-flex; display: -moz-flex; display: -ms-flexbox; display: flex; -webkit-box-align: start; -moz-box-align: start; box-align: start; -webkit-align-items: flex-start; -moz-align-items: flex-start; -ms-align-items: flex-start; -o-align-items: flex-start; align-items: flex-start; -ms-flex-align: start; width: 100%; border: 1px solid black; } figure img { -webkit-box-flex: 0; -moz-box-flex: 0; box-flex: 0; -webkit-flex: 0 0 150px; -moz-flex: 0 0 150px; -ms-flex: 0 0 150px; flex: 0 0 150px; } figure figcaption { -webkit-box-flex: 1; -moz-box-flex: 1; box-flex: 1; -webkit-flex: 1 1 auto; -moz-flex: 1 1 auto; -ms-flex: 1 1 auto; flex: 1 1 auto; }
<figure> <img src="//placekitten.com/g/300/300" /> <figcaption> I'm the caption </figcaption> </figure>
Who is correct? I believe the relevant section of the spec is Cross-size determination, but I'm having a hard time interpreting it.
