Issue: We need to define the behavior of ''column-fill'' in continuous contexts. A previous resolution (<a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3224#issuecomment-468089503">3224</a>) defined that the property should only be consulted if the length of columns was constrained in the block dimension. This was reverted in (<a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4036#issuecomment-531646703">4036</a>) pending further discussion.

<br />"In a multi-column formatting context the used value of normal for the column-gap property is 1em. This ensures columns are readable when the initial values are used.

<li>Added the paragraph "In continuous contexts, this property will only be consulted if the length of columns has been constrained in the block dimension, including min and max constraints (e.g., 'height', 'min-height', 'max-height'). Otherwise, columns will automatically be balanced." This paragraph (without the additional detail regarding min and max constraints) was commented out in 2012, causing an interoperability issue. Also corrected the example of content ending up all in the first column, by adding the height constraint.
