title: Text in a flex container doesn't wrap in IE11
body: <p>Consider the following snippet:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="false" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.parent {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    width: 400px;
    border: 1px solid red;
    align-items: center;
  }
  .child {
    border: 1px solid blue;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="parent"&gt;
    &lt;div class="child"&gt;
      Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="child"&gt;
      Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>In Chrome, the text is wrapping as expected:</p>

  <p>But, in IE11, <strong>the text is not wrapping</strong>:</p>

  <p>Is this a known bug in IE? (if yes, a pointer will be appreciated)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a known workaround?</p>
