is this what you are looking for??

you have to give the container min-height:300; and to the boxOrange and boxPurple height:300px; and if you put overflow: auto; you will have the scrollbar only on the side!

#container {
  background-color: red;
  padding: 10px;
  width: 80%;
  min-height: 300px;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  align-items: stretch;
}
#boxOrange {
  background-color: orange;
  flex: 1;
  overflow: auto;
  min-width: 400px;
 height:300px;
}
#boxPurple {
  background-color: purple;
  flex: 2;
  min-width: 400px;
  height:300px;
}

<div id=container>
  <div id="boxOrange">

That almost that, but the goal is to keep the height of `container` div before and after the warp. — Jordane CURE, Apr 15 '16 at 19:36
