I don't think that's the same thing. I think that's talking about
widgets whose width will increase when their height increases.
I'm talking about a container that might have widgets arranged like
this:
child1 child4 child7
child2 child5
child3 chidl6
but when the container is made less high, they will be arranged like
this:
child1 child3 child5 child7
child2 chidl4 child6
Also, the minimum height would therefore be constrainted by the total
child widget height and the number of columns in the container.
