title: How to prevent grid-row span from changing column placement?
body: <p>I have a 3 X 3 <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Grid_Layout" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CSS Grid</a>. </p>
  
  <p>I have a row in which I have three items <code>A</code>, <code>B</code> &amp; <code>C</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I want item <code>C</code> to have a <code>rowspan</code> of 2. </p>
  
  <p>To do so, I am using <code>grid-row: 1 / span 2;</code>. It is taking two rows, but it's being placed in the first column instead of simply lying in the 3rd column. I don't know why this is happening.</p>
  
  <p>I want item C to stay at the place where it is in the HTML. </p>
  
  <p>One work around to this problem is to explicitly setting <code>grid-column: 3 / span 1</code> which I don't want to do. I want items to be placed the way they are in HTML. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to suppress this behavior?</p>
