  Hello !

  I have a new wordpress blog, and I just noticed a bug in my slideshow. Did anybody here notice the same thing ?
  I use the “twenty eleven” theme.

  When viewing the slideshow, the right scroll bar of the browser is not functional : when I want to click on it, the slideshow passes to the next picture ! The only way to scroll down to see the picture description comments is to use the down arrow of the keyboard. (And I think it’s not intuitive for many visitors)

  Here is the page with the slideshow : http://hfcreation.wordpress.com/galeries/scenes-africaines/

  Is there any solution ?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The slideshow is something different and you are actually referring to the Photo Carousel. :)

  I don’t know if it is a bug or intentional. You can’t grab the scroll bar but you can scroll the wheel on the mouse or use the down key, as you noted.

  Thank you ! I’m french and I thought that it was a slideshow… So what is a slideshow ? (I’m curious…)
  It must be a bug, why would it be intentional ? What is the advantage ?

  As far as your second questions, I haven’t a clue. There was a little bit of discussion here when WordPress.com added descriptions and comment boxes to the Photo Carousel. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/new-gallery-features-exif-data/page/3?replies=90#post-930758 but haven’t seen anything about it since then.
