Tailwind CSS Flexbox Fractional Width Issue

This repository demonstrates an uncommon bug encountered when using fractional widths (e.g., w-1/2) within Tailwind CSS flexbox containers. The issue arises when the fractional widths don't seem to distribute the space correctly.

Bug Description

When two divs with w-1/2 are placed side by side in a flex container, one might expect them to occupy exactly half the available width each. However, this doesn't always happen, especially if there's other content affecting the container's dimensions.

Solution

The problem often stems from the implicit flex-shrink and flex-grow properties. Setting these explicitly to 0 ensures the divs maintain their fractional width without unwanted shrinking or expanding. Additionally, ensuring the parent container has the correct width to prevent unexpected behaviors can resolve the issue.

Reproduction Steps

1. Clone this repository.
2. Open bug.html in your browser. Observe the unequal spacing of the divs.
3. Then, compare to bugSolution.html to see the resolution.
