[FlexSlider 2] How to fix the issue where the slider stops when the window loses focus

Sample of the stopping issue

Open it on a PC and try changing focus to a different window.

You'll notice it stops.

This seems to be a FlexSlider specification, but I'll show you how to prevent it from stopping.

Solution

To prevent the slider from stopping even when the window is not in focus

Around line 1145 of flexslider.js

Comment out the following code.

// Ensure the slider isn't focussed if the window loses focus.
$( window ).blur( function ( e ) {
  focused = false;
}).focus( function ( e ) {
  focused = true;
});

Like this:

// Ensure the slider isn't focussed if the window loses focus.
//$( window ).blur( function ( e ) {
//  focused = false;
//}).focus( function ( e ) {
//  focused = true;
//});

Here's an example with this applied; it should no longer stop.
