I have built this layout:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>test</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
.flex{
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
min-height:50%;
width:33.3333%;
float:left;
border:1px solid #C8C7CC;
box-sizing:border-box;
overflow:scroll;
}
.flex:last-child{
width:66.6666%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="flex">
<ul>
<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>4</li>
<li>5</li>
<li>6</li>
<li>7</li>
<li>8</li>
<li>9</li>

<li>20</li>
<li>21</li>
<li>22</li>
<li>23</li>
<li>24</li>
<li>25</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="flex">

I want to put long lists of things inside each flex box. I need them to scroll individually and at the same time fill all the available space in the browser window. I have managed the latter but how can I get a flex box to scroll instead of grow when overflowed?
I kept on searching after posting this question and I found this post: Flexbox and vertical scroll in a full-height app using NEWER flexbox api
It suggested setting the parent elements height to 0. I tried it and it seems to be working :D
