"Hide on mobile" Image Gallery images are still popping up in lightbox on mobile form factor

[jessicai]

How does one successfully prevent images from an Elementor Image Gallery (with 'Responsive' 'Hide on mobile' advanced settings) prevent images from being popped up in the lightbox on a mobile phone? Thanks in advance.

It's NOT a fix but it's a workaround. Simply put, do NOT use 'DUPLICATE' image gallery. Instead, use 'ADD A SECTION' and start an image gallery from scratch. WHEN I duplicate an image gallery, the 'hide on' feature, although the image gallery indeed 'hides on mobile', for example, it still leaves the images showing up on the pop up/lightbox on mobile, thereby duplicating the number of images in the pop up/lightbox. I used to work at IBM and Oracle. When it came to quirks and quarks like this, we used to say 'it's not a bug, it's a FEATURE'.

UPDATE - Issue resurfaces. Deactivating "Duplicate Post" (Version 3.2.3 | By Enrico Battocchi ; only plugin) and starting with a fresh test (new page) to see if that resolves the issue.
