Any ideas or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I’m still looking over this issue, but this looks to be a way to get over that:

figcaption.blocks-gallery-item__caption {
    pointer-events: none;
}

Let me know if that works out for you.

Thanks!

Thanks again.

Thanks again,

Best,

figcaption.blocks-gallery-item__caption {
    pointer-events: none;
}

Actually, the following CSS rule does work for me:

.wp-block-gallery .blocks-gallery-item figcaption {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Very grateful for this.
