Using IM 7.0.3-9 on Windows 10 64. I've run into a discrepancy when trying to access specs from one particular image in a stack if I use a negative number as an index. This command creates ten square white canvases sized 100x100, 101x101 ... 109x109, and outputs the specs to "info:"...
If I want to get the size of the first image in the stack I can do something like this...
That shows the dimensions of index 0, the first image in the stack, as 100x100, which is what I would expect. Then if I want to get the dimensions of the last image in the stack, the one with index number 9, I can run this command...
That shows the dimensions are 109x109, again what I'd expect. The problem comes if I have a stack with an unknown number of images, and I use index -1 to access the dimensions of that last image. Running a command like this...
... shows the dimensions as 100x100 where I would expect it to show 109x109. Not only would I expect that -1 index to give me the dimensions of the last image, this command using the -2 index...
... shows the 109x109 dimensions.

So using a zero or a positive number will find the image at the correct location in the stack, but it looks like the result from using a negative number as an index is off by one from where I think it should be.

Thanks for the problem report. We can reproduce it and will have a patch to fix it in GIT master branch @ https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick later today. The patch will be available in the beta releases of ImageMagick @ http://www.imagemagick.org/download/beta/ by sometime tomorrow.
