I\'ve got a pretty good adjustable interface working with flexbox where a user can adjust the height and width of panels. However, I want to change the panel heights, which
You need to add a height to your right column:
http://jsfiddle.net/59trW/2/
.flex {
display: flex;
flex:1;
flex-direction: column;
background-color: #64b92a;
height: 100%; /* here */
}
Also, -webkit-box-align: stretch
is doing nothing for you because it comes from the old 2009 draft (which you aren't even using here), not the current spec (also, stretch is the default value for that property).
