Scrolling stops after return to site tab from new link destination tab

Hi All,

I posted this on another wp.org support forum, but must have been the wrong one.

I have WP Logo Showcase Responsive Slider Pro v1.3.3 on WP 4.8.2. Fantastic plugin. Thanks for putting it together.

Scrolling stops either within a few seconds after returning to the site from a new tab that opens after clicking the logo link, or the scrolling is completely stopped on returning – it varies. This didn’t happen when I had no link target set and I returned to the site with the Back button after links opened in self; it just started when I added link_target=”blank”. Scrolling resumes with a mouse click anywhere on the page, but I don’t want visitors to have to do that.

Scrolling does not stop when changing from the site’s tab to a different open tab and returning to the site; it only stops after a scrolling link is clicked and then the visitor returns to the site from the new link destination tab.

Symptoms happen on Chrome v61, IE11 and Opera v48.
