Styling an HTML dialog modal to take the full height of the viewport
https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/5936#discussion_r5136422...
The problem is that no browser had (and still has) shipped the "stretch" keyword. (Blink likely will "soon" - https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/SiZ2n... )
However this was pushed back against as this had to go in a specification - and nobody implemented it ("-webit-fill-available" would have been an acceptable substitute in Blink but other browsers didn't have this working the same yet).
Hence the calc() variant. (Primarily because of "box-sizing:content-box" being the default, and pre-existing border/padding styles on dialog that we didn't want to touch).
One thing to keep in mind is that any changes that changes web behaviour is under some time pressure. If you leave something too long, sites will start relying on the previous behaviour - so it would have been arguably worse not to have done anything.
It may still be possible to change to the stretch variant, however likely some sites are relying on the extra "space" around dialogs now, and would be mad if we changed it again. This might still be a net-positive however given how much this confuses web-developers (future looking cost), vs. the pain (cost) of breaking existing sites.
Sorry!
