chop with percentage affects other dimension

If I use -chop with a percentage in only one dimension, the second dimension loses a pixel too. For example (and here I'm chopping the width, but the results are the same if I use the height):
Code: Select all
convert -format "%w x %h" rose: info:
yields: 70 x 46
Code: Select all
convert -format "%w x %h" -gravity east -chop 1x0 rose: info:
yields the expected 69 x 46, but
Code: Select all
convert -format "%w x %h" -gravity east -chop 1%x0 rose: info:
yields 69 x 45.
Why is the
height getting chopped too?
It looks like even with a 0% chop, 1 pixel is always removed, as long as there's a percentage and not a number of pixels:
Code: Select all
convert rose: -format "%w x %h" -gravity east -chop 0%x0 info:
yields the same 69 x 45.

What version of IM? Please ALWAYS state the version of IM.
I can't find the thread, but a change was made recently, so that when a "%" was used in geometry, any result of zero was changed to one. This was to prevent "-resize 1%" etc from failing by trying to create an image of zero pixels.
I suspect that change has caused this problem.

Using ImageMagick 7.0.7-5 on Windows and running this command with the 640x480 built-in logo:...
The output shows a single row of pixels has been chopped from both the width and height...
Code: Select all
logo: GIF 639x479 639x479+0+0 8-bit sRGB 256c 0.016u 0:00.004
Running the same command with a bit older ImageMagick 6.9.8-10 and "convert" produces the expected output showing "logo:" with the original 640x480 dimensions.

Sorry. Version added above.
And yes, that would do it! Guess I'll have to calculate the number of pixels then.
