collect behavior does not match iteration for zip of iterators with unequal lengths

[Keno]

julia> collect(zip([1,2,3],[1,2],[1,2,3]))
ERROR: DimensionMismatch("dimensions must match")

This is still a problem on latest master.

Is this a bug in zip or a bug in collect ?
collect(zip([1,2,3],[1,2],[1,2,3])) used to "work" in 0.4.

Closing in favor of #20499.

[schlichtanders]

this is still an issue in julia 1.1.1

to repeat #20499 (comment)
zip still behaves unexpectedly...

I was really surprised seeing that this issue is already 3 years old

[schlichtanders]

How would one rewrite collect(zip(1:3, 2:5)) in julia 1.x to work?
