I'm trying to use the column-count css3 property on an tag with multiple paragraphs in it. On Webkit browsers I'm seeing what appears to be a bug. At certain screen sizes, paragraph margins are failing to split across columns nicely.
Here's a screen shot (notice that the third paragraph starting with the word "Duis" is dropped whereas it should be flush with the top of the screen):
Here's a CodePen of the problem. I've fixed the width to 1000px so the problem is obvious to Chrome* / Safari users.
*Edit: Just checking back in early 2018 and Chrome no longer suffers from this bug. Safari (testing 11.0.3) does!
I've attempted to use the page-break-* rules to force paragraphs to avoid breaks. I've also tried to use -webkit-perspective:1 as per the comments at http://caniuse.com/#feat=multicolumn but that's had no effect.
Any ideas folks?
