centerMode not centering correctly

I’ve been having issues getting centerMode to center the first slide on initialisation when using variableWidth. I find that I have to move to the next slide, and back again for Slick to work out what the center actually is.

====================================================================

The provided jsfiddle required too much reworking to be relevant as this is a variable width example. I kept it as simple as possible though.

Interestingly in my real-world example the offset goes the other way, to the right. It actually looks like the first slide is just being offset by 50% with no correction for the slides width:

But once I’ve gone forward and then back a slide it corrects itself:

====================================================================

What is the expected behaviour?

Center the slideshow with a focus on the first slide.

====================================================================

What is observed behaviour?

The first slide is off-center on initialisation, but centers itself after navigation.

centerPadding to 0 fixes it.
