[Bug 1351050] Re: Weird iteration order when displaying multiple images

[Rickard Westman]

After I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04.5, which has a new version of
ImageMagick, I no longer see the problem.  Not changing bug status since
I'm not sure that's the right thing to do when the bug was reported
against an older (but still supported) distribution which may still have
the bug.


> lsb_release -rd

Title:
  Weird iteration order when displaying multiple images

Status in ImageMagick:
  New
Status in imagemagick package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The "display" command takes multiple image files on the command line.
  By using the File/Next command, those files used to be displayed one
  by one in the sequence given, but in this version, something weird
  happens instead which is easiest to explain through an example.
  Consider this command line:

    display 1.png 2.png 3.png 4.png

  I would now expect images to be displayed in the order given, i.e. 1 2
  3 4.  Instead, the actual order observed is:

    1 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4

  I know this worked as expected in older versions of Imagemagick, but I
  unfortunately don't know exactly how far back you would have to go to
  get the correct/sensible behavior.
