Upon sliding, Flickity selects random cell when "contain=true"

Try sliding in either direction a couple of times. When sliding stops, a random cell is selected. It could be the middle, the one to outermost left or to the outermost right.

When contain=false it works according to cellAlign.

Thanks for reporting this issue. Flickity is behaving as expected. Although, it's a bit quirky with contain enabled:

• When dragging to the ends of the container, Flickity will select the first/last cell
• When dragging inside the container, Flickity will select the closest cell

Its hard to argue against "behaving as expected", but may I ask why you made the select strategy work differently with contain enabled ? I can't come up with any good reason for that. To me and our users it looks like random selection and makes this mode useless which is a shame because I like what its doing (beside of the slide/selection strategy)

Because the contain behavior requires this kind of selection. It works this way because that's how containment works. Sorry for the tautological argument. But, in other words, it works this way because its the most straightforward method that works with Flickity's underlying API.
