layout grid grow & shrink params

I have noticed that, with a layout grid, I have to set the flexgrow and flexshrink to zero if there is only one cell (with either text or a menu in) but have to set these two parameters to a one if there are multiple cells in there (each with something in with flexgrow and flex shrink set to one).
If I don't do this, the results are not what I expect (menus are all over the place, for example).
Why is this? I'm just curious - I know what I need to do to make it work.
cheers

The flexbox properties only apply to flexbox container and flexgrid, not to layout grids.
If you use them in a layout grid then the results will be 'undefined'.

OK - thanks. I'll continue playing around and see what "undefined" results I get.
Fun times. I enjoy learning new stuff.

So, all flexboxes should be set to 0 and 0 for the grow and shrink parameters.
What I have done is set any text or buttons inside the flex box cells to 1 and 1. Is that the right way to do things?

If you use layout grids, then I recommend to keep the default settings (flex-grow/flex-shrink= 0)

Thanks. I'll check the ones I have used.
