Good plugin but something is wrong

Hello! it’s good simple plugins, but I have one problem. When I click on the picture I need to click one more time in order to see navigation buttons. Maybe somebody knows what’s wrong?

Great lightbox, badly packaged

The plugin enqueues around 10 scripts and css files to be loaded. And these are unoptimized, and unminified — wasting time and bandwith.

What can I say?

I installed it.. and BANG it worked and life was good. Thanks for making this, exactly what I need.
