Div height shrinks in 100vh flex container

I have set the height of the main-menu element to 40px, why does the content element increase it's vertical size and take the menu's space?

#root {  display: flex;  height: 100vh;  flex-direction: column;}.main-menu {  width: 100%;  height: 40px;  background: green;}.content {  display: flex;  flex-grow: 1;}.sidebar {  flex-grow: 1;  flex-basis: 0;  height: 100%;  border-right: 1px solid darkgrey;}

When the browser window is less wide, the menu is visible and it is not visible when it becomes wide.

Less browser window width:

More width:

I found that setting the min-height rather than height for .main-menu fixes the problem but I don't understand why using height doesn't work.
