Why Is My Flexbox Scrollbar Not Working with \'column-reverse\' in Firefox, Edge, and IE?

Flexbox Scrollbar Issues with 'column-reverse' in Firefox, Edge, and IE

In the pursuit of responsive design, a developer encountered an unexpected quirk when using flexbox to reverse the order of items on smaller screens. While the approach worked seamlessly in Chrome, the scrollbar remained disabled in Firefox, Edge, and IE.

Examining the HTML and CSS, it becomes clear that flexbox with flex-direction: column-reverse is indeed the culprit. However, upon investigation, this behavior is actually a known bug in the mentioned browsers.

It turns out that when using flex-direction: column-reverse, the scrollbar only appears in Chrome. If the developer switches to flex-direction: column, the scrollbar becomes functional across all browsers.
