Thickbox won't load until gallery has completely loaded in Chrome

Whenever I load a gallery page in Google Chrome, and immediately click on a thumbnail, the thickbox won’t display until all the thumbnails are loaded.

However, if I do the same in Internet Explorer, the thickbox will display immediately, regardless of the completion of the thumbnail rendering.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This plugin is terrific.
