Webflow Lightbox hides navigation. How to prevent that?

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with Webflow’s native Lightbox element hiding my navigation when opened.

Basically, when I click an image to open the Lightbox, my navigation completely disappears. When I inspect the element, I see that Webflow automatically adds aria-hidden="true" and tabindex="-1" to my navigation and all its child elements.

The navigation only reappears after closing the Lightbox, but it just pops back in without any transition, which looks weird.

Is there a way to prevent Webflow Lightbox from adding aria-hidden to my navigation or force the navigation to stay visible when Lightbox is open? Basically, I want navbar behind the image and not in front of it, but visible when Lightbox is open. Also, when the lightbox opens, the scrollbar disappears and the page visibly shifts a little.

I’m on the Free plan so I don’t have access to Custom Code in the project settings.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
