Recently title and text persisting while arrowing through images

Hey Russ!
Well done 😀
But I'm not sure I understand it correctly. Do you mean it happens only when the image is displayed in fullscreen mode? It's definitely not the case on my smartphone.

Russ Freeman thanks Russ - been annoying having to switch browsers (Safari to Chrome) to get around.

Woohoo!
Whilst investigating something unrelated, I discovered why this problem exists, and it's definitely a PP problem :-)
Because I know why it is, I know how to easily reproduce the fault.
Put the browser in fullscreen mode (on a PC, use F11) and go next-next through the images. The image changes, but the rest of the page does not.
It's because PP uses a flawed mechanism to detect if an image is being displayed in fullscreen mode.
Fabulous......next Dorito skin. ;)

No, not ONLY. I outlined A way I discovered I could reproduce the fault. There are other circumstances that might reproduce it but it doesn't matter, since they all share the same outcome.

If it's any help the same happens on my I Pad, but not on my laptop. I have been aware of it for some time, it's not a recent thing.

It's code that was written a LONG time ago. It's ancient.

Russ said he had found how to reproduce the problem, and from that had worked out the cause.
I don't believe he said he's fixed it yet.

For me (on Safari) it did solve it following his post but it has returned.

I haven't updated PP to fix it yet.
The bug is related to browser window size, and PP thinks it is in full-screen mode when moving next/previous between images.

Russ Freeman I tried with a browser window that wasn't maximised but no difference seen.
Full screen as in discard the browser frame I rarely use.

Here's the broken code for detecting whether the browser is in full-screen mode:
function isFullScreen(){ if((window.fullScreen) || (window.innerWidth == screen.width && window.innerHeight == screen.height)) { return true; } else { return false; } }
The fail part is in bold.
The bug will soon be fixed :-)

Ah yes, JavaScript [1]. Wonderful stuff. One of the Dark Arts.
As a curiosity and perhaps an edge case, I wonder how that behaves, once corrected, when there are multiple screens involved.
My browser will maximise to one physical screen, on a click, and F11 full screen likewise, but I can enlarge a browser window to fill 3 physical screens. I have absolutely no idea what answers it will then give to questions. Hopefully sensible ones.
This setup seems to have moved from X11 to Wayland. I'm not sure what magic connects the OS to the graphics card.
