No way to access image in packed gallery with long descriptions
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

<gallery mode="packed-overlay"> or hover in combination with long descriptions makes impossible to access to the images featured in the gallery, since they cover the whole image.

This is bad in terms of UI, but it might even have legal implications because clicking the image is the only way to check its license, attribution, etc.

Another example with (mode="packed-hover") small images https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:PermaLink/149006080#Brandenburg (Warning: very huge amount of imgaes)

I guess this fix could be very simple, put the click-layer over the (hover) description-layer!?
