Gallery Pro | Image Stacking Issue

The issue as stated in the Rapid Weaver Forums pasted in here for reference:

I searched the forums and did not see anything related to this in particular, but I purchased the Gallery Pro plugin, because I'm a digital artist and have been for over 30 years, and I'm building a website which has my entire life's worth of work. And one of the issues is (not constant but happens irregularly) that here and there, after a couple of refreshes on a page that has multiple Gallery Pro instances in it, when I go into the Lightbox for that gallery, it will start loading the Lightboxes for multiple galleries all at once and start stacking them up all on the same space, making it basically impossible to do anything. You can try to close them, but it's ineffective. It forces you to refresh the page, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

I'm assuming this is a technical issue on the back end. I did see an update come through maybe three days ago, and I just haven't been working on the gallery often enough maybe to reproduce it, I'm not sure. I don't know exactly how to reproduce it every single time, so maybe this is a known thing and it's already been cleared out, but I did want to bring it up, as it is entirely a dealbreaker for this kind of behavior to exist in a pro level gallery plugin.I should say also that I've tried both the javascript and css method and it makes no difference (nor can I tell what the difference is otherwise so far)

I'll attach a couple of images to show you what it looks like when it happens.

Update: I can confirm the issue still exists. While building out a page to show image examples of this problem, it happened again.

Let me know, thanks!

See below to reference the 3 examples I have had of the issue I’ve been able to catch so far.

As you can see, pretty straightforward. While one of the galleries is in the forefront, it has stacked all of the captions and all of the images of every size on top of each other. This is totally untenable. Like, it's a no-go. If this were to happen regularly, I would have to ask for a refund for this product.
While I had caught it happening, I just wanted to make sure to get a few examples. I had been clicking on the X in the top right to see if I could just clear things out, but there are just so many of these stacked. Yeah, I'm using a lot of galleries on this page. It's my main page showing everything I've ever designed. And I'm not inclined to split it up if I don't have to. But, same issue as you can tell.
Nothing especially different here, just showing the same thing a third time. It makes the caption text completely unreadable, as you can see, and the interface is a mess. Hopefully you can do something about this, or hopefully you already have, and I just don't know about it yet.
