Specification
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-flexbox-1/#algo-visibility


Summary
Support visibility:collapse on flex items


Blink component
Blink>CSS


Web Feature ID
visibility


Motivation
The CSS Flexible Box Layout specification defines visibility: collapse for flex 
items: a collapsed item is removed from layout much like display: none, but the 
cross size of its flex line is preserved by treating the item's line cross size 
as a "strut." This lets developers toggle items in and out of a flex layout 
without the row or column resizing, avoiding visual jumps as content appears 
and disappears. Chromium does not implement this behavior and instead treats 
visibility: collapse on flex items the same as visibility: hidden, leaving the 
item's box in place. Firefox already supports the spec-defined behavior, so the 
feature is not interoperable across engines and developers cannot rely on it. 
To work around this, web authors fall back to manually toggling display: none 
and managing their own layout to prevent reflow, or they avoid visibility: 
collapse entirely. This adds complexity and is a common source of confusion, 
since the property appears in the spec but produces engine-specific results. 
Implementing visibility: collapse on flex items brings Chromium in line with 
the Flexbox specification and matches the behavior already shipping in Firefox, 
improving interoperability and giving developers a reliable, declarative way to 
collapse flex items while keeping line sizing stable.
