What happened?

Upon disabling padEnds, for middle elements of the carousel, the partial view of previous element is removed. Partial view of only the next element is maintained.

Steps

In example app's Carousel with Custom Indicator Demo.

• Set viewportFraction 0.8.
• Set padEnds false.

Expected Result

For first element, no padding is there on left. On right, the next element is partially visible.
For last element, no padding is there on right. On left, the previous element is partially visible.
For middle elements, next and previous elements are partially visible.

Actual Result

For first element, as expected.
For last element, as expected.
For middle elements, the left element is not partially visible. It looks like the first element with no padding on left.

@nixrajput Did you check this out, facing this same issue. If you know the reason why this is happening then it would be great so that I can implement the fixes and push the changes into a PR for others to use and merge into this package.

Hi @sagnik-sanyal,

I haven't had the time to test this issue yet. I'll try to test and fix it this week if possible. If it turns out to require more time, I'll share the reason for the issue here so that anyone else can work on fixing it.

Thanks and regards,
Nikhil
