Tailwind CSS Flexbox Fractional Width Issue

This repository demonstrates an unexpected behavior when using fractional widths in Tailwind CSS flexbox.

Bug Description

When two divs are placed side-by-side using flex, and each is given a width of w-1/2, they overlap instead of taking up equal halves of the available width. This happens even when the parent div has the necessary width or is set to flex-row.

Bug Reproduction

  1. Clone the repository.
  2. Open the bug.js file.
  3. Run the code. Observe the unexpected layout.

Solution

The solution involves adding the flex-grow utility class. See the bugSolution.js file for a fix. This forces the elements to expand and fill the available space.
