When center mode and vertical mode are true, the centered slide shown is not the active slide. As shown in the jsfiddle, it starts on slide 6, but the active slide (as shown in the dots) is slide 1.
When you use the "slickCurrentSlide" method, it returns the correct slide, but unfortunately the slide shown as the main one in the view is always a slide behind.
http://jsfiddle.net/7Lyr8o2q/The slide shown first is slide 0. The centered slide should always be the "current" slide, as shown in the dots and when you use the "currentSlide" method.
The slide that is shown is always one behind the actually current or active slide.
