Why does Lightroom's 1:1 crop export a nearly square image instead of exact equal pixel dimensions?

When I crop an image in Lightroom using the Crop Overlay with the aspect ratio locked to 1x1, the result appears square. But after exporting, I found dimensions like 1679×1676 instead of an exact square. Is there a way to make Lightroom produce truly equal width and height in pixels, or is this expected behavior?

This bug has been fixed from version 5.3 onward.

This was a Lightroom bug rather than expected behavior. A 1:1 crop should export as an exact square, with equal pixel dimensions. According to the community answers, the issue was fixed in Lightroom 5.3 and later. If you're seeing exports like 1679×1676 from a 1x1 crop, update Lightroom to version 5.3 or newer. After updating, Lightroom should produce mathematically correct square exports when using a 1:1 crop, assuming no other export resizing settings are changing the dimensions.
