Preview box automatically closes after click on ie8

[ghost]

I tried this with the official demo as well thinking that some of the changes I made to the code had broken the plugin but the same happens:

On IE 8 whenever I click on a thumbnail to open the preview, the preview opens and is automatically closed instantly.

Is there a way to fix this? Or is IE 8 support not part of the picture?

Thanks in advance!

I found that when I comment the following part of the code it works fine on IE 8 and doesn't seems to break anything on the other browsers:

// on window resize get the window´s size again
// reset some values..
$window.on( 'debouncedresize', function() {
...
// Comment this:
// if( typeof preview != 'undefined' ) {
// hidePreview();
// }
} );

I experienced thhe same behaviour in Chrome 36 on iOS. I'll check if your fix works there too
