OK, after a lot of messing around I have a simple solution ??
I suggest NOT adding this within wp-members js file so that it does not get wiped on upgrades.
So add the following to your theme custom .js file or put within script tags in a theme html file etc. as you choose!)
You can of course ignore all comment lines ??
/**
* JS hack allows WordPress nextgen-galleryview2 and wp-members plugins (login widget etc.)
* Also could solve problems with other inputs ( if we tweak code below) on a page where a slideshow is running!
* Issue: in Chrome/IE/mobile (but not Firefox) the nextgen-galleryview2 slideshow animation
* removes the focus from page inputs whilst user is typing!
* This hack pauses the slideshow when user clicks/taps on #username or #password elements.
* It does this by clicking the slideshow "Pause" control programmatically.
* Enables the login widget, (from the excellent "wp-members" plugin, Author Chad Butler/RocketGeek ) to work
* correctly when the web page also contains a slidshow gallery.
* Note: We use click() not focus() becos the username input may be auto-focused when the page loads, which stops slideshow!
* Note: If slideshow controls are not displayed it will not work!
* Note: since wp-members login causes the page to be reloaded, no need to restart slideshow!

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
/* NOTE: to stop slideshow on ANY/ALL inputs on the page, just use:
* jQuery(":input").click( function() { jQuery(".gv_navPause").click(); } );
*/
/* stop slideshow when (wp-members) either login or password inputs get a click (do both in case login is auto-filled) */
if ( jQuery("#username, #password") && jQuery(".gv_navPause") ) { // these elements DO exist!
jQuery("#username, #password").click(function() { //when either get a click
jQuery(".gv_navPause").click(); // click the slideshow Pause
// alert('gv_navPause'); // a test line. If our code is working we get an alert!
});
}
});
