Topic: Button bar appears with each new image on autoplay [SOLVED]

I like that the button bar can be set to time out after a period of inactivity. However, on autoplay, it reappears whenever the gallery advances to the next image. This kind of defeats the purpose of the timeout. I would like the button bar to remain hidden until the user moves the mouse, clicks, or touches the gallery. Is this possible?

Here's what I'm testing:

Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks!

Re: Button bar appears with each new image on autoplay [SOLVED]

Unfortunately, it looks like a browser-specific bug. I see your problem in Chrome but not in Firefox.
I have been able to replicate the problem in a test gallery of my own and I have logged a bug report with the developers.

The problem seems to be related to the following combination of configuration options so, until the bug is fixed, you might like to avoid this combination and try setting at least one of these options to a different value.

autoPlayOnLoad=TRUE
buttonBarPosition=OVERLAY_IMAGE
captionPosition=BELOW_IMAGE
imageTransitionType=CROSS_FADE

Thank you for reporting the problem.

Thanks. I tried changing image transition type to slide, but the problem persists on Chrome. I need to keep the other options you mentioned the way they are.

The problem also happens in Safari on iOS. It doesn't happen in Safari on desktop.

Unfortunately, other than changing the options which cause the problem, there is no way to prevent it from happening.
However, the issue is now in the hands of the developers and it should hopefully be fixed in the next version.
