Responsive grid layout with fixed header, footer a

I'm trying to create 2 column full height design by using flexbox. When I add scrolling to whole middle part then I have a strange behavior. It seems that flex-grow/stretch doesn't grow/stretch other items if parent container has a scrollbar.

Here is my fiddle. Code also given below:

html, body {
    height: 100%;    
}
#container {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    height: 100%;
    
    width: 50%;
    background-color: red;
}

#container header {
    background-color: gray;
}
#container section {
    flex: 1 1 auto;
    overflow-y: auto;
    min-height: 0px;
}
#container footer {
    background-color: gray;
}
aside {
  width : 100px;
  background-color: blue;
}
article{
  width: 100%;
  display:flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}
article > div{
  flex: 1 1 auto;
}

#content {
  display:flex;   
}

<section id="container" >
<header id="header" >This is a header</header>
<section id="content">
  <aside>

Basically i'm trying to cover 2 scenarios. It works fine if i don't need to scroll but once i have a scroll the items doesn't stretch correctly:

To make this layout work in latest Firefox & Chorme as of today (revising this answer from 2016), I made the following changes:

Added margin: 0 to body to allow the container to flex to the viewport height.
Wrap you the contents on #content element in another section and make it a column flexbox.
Make the inner sectiona full-height flexbox and give min-height: max-content and flex: 1.

See demo below:

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0; /* ADDED */
}

#container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  height: 100%;
  width: 50%;
  background-color: red;
}

#container header {
  background-color: gray;
}

#container > section { /* ADDED > selector */
  display: flex; /* ADDED */
  flex-direction: column; /* ADDED */
  flex: 1 1 auto;
  overflow-y: auto;
  min-height: 0px;
}

#container > section > section{ /* ADDED */
  display: flex;
  height: 100%;
  min-height: max-content; /* fixes chrome */
  flex: 1; /* fixes firefox */
}

#container footer {
  background-color: gray;
}

aside {
  width: 100px;
  background-color: blue;
  min-height: content;
}

article {
  width: 100%;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

article>div {
  flex: 1 1 auto;
}

The above solution is hacky at best and shows us why a flexbox is weak in 2D layouts. The answer is it is just not designed for it. But CSS Grids are - see how easily everything falls into place:

Make #container a full viewport high grid element.
Make the middle section a grid container with grid-template-columns: 100px 1fr along with overflow property and you are almost done.

See demo below:

body {
  margin: 0;
}

#container {
  display: grid;
  width: 50%;
  height: 100vh;
  background-color: red;
}

header, footer {
  background-color: gray;
}

#container section {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 100px 1fr;
  overflow-y: auto;
}

aside {
  background-color: blue;
}

article {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

article > div {
  flex: 1 1 auto;
}
