Text in a flex container doesn't wrap in IE11
<p>Consider the following snippet:</p>

<p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="false" data-babel="false">
<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.parent {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  width: 400px;
  border: 1px solid red;
  align-items: center;
}
.child {
  border: 1px solid blue;
}</code></pre>
<pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="parent"&gt;
  &lt;div class="child"&gt;
    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="child"&gt;
    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</p>

<p>In Chrome, the text is wrapping as expected:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qTX4L.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qTX4L.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>But, in IE11, <strong>the text is not wrapping</strong>:</p>

<p>Is this a known bug in IE? (if yes, a pointer will be appreciated)</p>

<p>Is there a known workaround?</p>
