[Feature] Carousel
A fullscreen modal appearing when clicking on an image in a gallery or tiled gallery.
[Type] Bug
When a feature is broken and / or not performing as intended
Steps to reproduce the issue
Ensure that Jetpack Carousels are enabled and the CoBlocks plugin is installed and active
What I expected
When Lightbox is disabled, I would expect no lighbox or carousel when you click on the image. Most users don't know the difference between Lightbox and Carousel.
What happened instead
If lightbox is disabled, the Jetpack carousel still shows - this appears to be misleading to our users
If lightbox is enabled, a carousel will first show, then when you close out of that the lightbox will show, I don't believe any user would expect that to occur.
It seems the workaround would be to disable the Jetapack carousel feature since this is a whole site setting (you can't turn it on/off for specific gallery blocks) and to toggle on/off the CoBlocks Lightbox feature on each gallery, but this is in no way apparent to our users.
Screenshots

Of note, the lightbox controls were introduced here: godaddy-wordpress/coblocks#1557
If this suggestion is implemented, this would likely help clear things up I think: #15946
