Gallery: lightbox option doesn't work with an upgrade banner

[annezazu]

Context and steps to reproduce

Hi! I created https://happybirthdaytous.wordpress.com (simple free site) to host a set of photos and found that, despite setting the gallery to open as a lightbox option, it doesn't work. I have another site (nomad.blog) where this option does work so I'm making an assumption that it's conflicting in some way with the upgrade banner. Apologies for the background noise in this video:

lightbox.vid.mov

I won't be able to follow up on this further as I'm out on sabbatical. I checked in the Gutenberg repo to see if a similar report has been made but couldn't find one and I was unable to replicate it with the latest of GB and the latest WP version.

@annezazu I realize you're out; I wasn't able to replicate this on my own site or even on your test, even with multiple browsers. If you're still seeing it, please re-open and share any more context you have that could help us replicate this. Thanks!
