Ah, I understand now. Yes, this has been an “issue” since the lightboxing library was updated back in April. Prior to the update clicking on an image would display the image in its full resolution. However, when adding the ability to move between images in a single post, each half of the image became a click target to move forward or backwards in the sequence of images.

As noted above - this is not an easy issue to fix:
