css flexbox responsive-design CSS

I'm updating my dependencies and I'm a bit lost with I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm working with a scenario with a layout where I want to create a responsive multi-column design using CSS Flexbox. The scenario arises when the content in the columns varies in height; I want to maintain vertical alignment across the rows, but it's not behaving as expected. I've set up my HTML structure like this: ```html <div class="container"> <div class="column">Content 1</div> <div class="column">Content 2 with more text to see how it behaves</div> <div class="column">Content 3</div> <div class="column">Content 4</div> </div> ``` And my CSS looks like this: ```css .container { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } .column { flex: 1 0 45%; margin: 10px; background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 10px; } ``` The question I'm working with is that when the columns wrap onto a new row due to the container's width, the heights are mismatched, and I need to seem to get them to align vertically. I've tried adjusting the `align-items` property to different values like `flex-start`, `center`, and `stretch`, but nothing seems to work properly in this context. Additionally, I'm using Chrome version 100.0.4896.127, and it seems to render differently compared to Firefox. I've also tested with Flexbox properties such as `align-content`, but that hasn't resolved the scenario either. Any tips on how to achieve consistent vertical alignment across rows in this responsive layout without resorting to absolute positioning or JavaScript solutions? Would appreciate any insights or examples that might help resolve this question. Am I missing something obvious? For context: I'm using Css on Ubuntu 20.04. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
