Description
gdal_merge -separate to stack variable sized input image files works. However the output file is short if the last input file has fewer lines. In my case I am outputting an ENVI file. Note that other short input images are padded correctly.
gdal_merge.py -separate -f ENVI -o output {list of 46 input files}
output file: 8612 samples, 3511 lines, 46 bands, 4 byte floats = 5563558688 the file size created is: 5542166480
This is exactly 621 lines short, which is the same as the number of lines missing from the last input band #46 which is: 8612 x 2890
gdal_merge terminates successfully at 100%, however the file cannot be completely read successfully by other applications or GDAL.
A possible workaround for this is to just append (pad) the correct number (or more) zeros to the end of the ENVI data file.
It looks like this a bug that has been fixed in GDAL >= 2.1.2
