      The bug

      The volume defined by target selector arguments dx, dy and dz is always larger than specified by 1 in all dimensions.
      For example, @e[dx=0,dy=0,dz=0] would select entities in a 1x1x1 cube with the negative corner at the execution location, and @e[dx=1,dy=1,dz=1] would select entities in a 2x2x2 cube.

      Negative values are allowed and work correctly in the negative directions; however the selection area is still extended 1 in all positive directions.
      For example, If you have an armor stand besides you at each side, aligned to the x axis,
      @e[dx=-1] would select you and both armor stands, rather than just the one on the negative side.

      Steps to reproduce

      Setup some armor stands

      1. Run the following commands:
        /execute align xyz run summon armor_stand ~0.5 ~ ~0.5 {CustomName:'{"text":"Center"}'}
        /execute at @e[type=armor_stand,name=Center] run summon armor_stand ~1 ~ ~1 {CustomName:'{"text":"Positive"}'}
        /execute at @e[type=armor_stand,name=Center] run summon armor_stand ~-1 ~ ~-1 {CustomName:'{"text":"Negative"}'}
      2. Run the following command:
        /execute at @e[type=armor_stand,name=Center] run say @e[dx=0,dy=0,dz=0,type=armor_stand]

        →  It finds "Positive" even though an area with the size of 0x0x0 is provided.

      3. Use the following command:
        /execute at @e[type=armor_stand,name=Center] run say @e[dx=-1,dy=-1,dz=-1,type=armor_stand]

        →  It finds all armor stand even though it should not find "Positive" as a negative area is provided.
