After updating to Pro Blocks 3.0.27 on a site running the Sinatra theme, I noticed my post carousels weren’t looping.

The carousel has 5 post columns displayed for screens above 1500px, 1200px-1499px, and 992px-1199px:
Notice the following behavior:

When viewed in a large/wide browser window, the posts go through their first rotation, and then there is just blank space. No looping.
When viewed in a tablet-sized window, the posts loop but there’s a gray hairline (smoke trail) right at the top of the images them sometimes.
Resizing the window at any point freezes the carousel and/or makes the post thumbnails disappear.

I figured out a temporary fix and applied it to this page:

This carousel has only 4 post columns displayed for screens above 1500px, 1200px-1499px, and 992px-1199px:
Notice that the odd behavior is not present (except for the weird smoke trail but if you resize the window, it disappears and gradually comes back).

I am not sure what’s going on, there don’t seem to be any js errors, but I just thought I’d report it for anyone experiencing the same thing.
