I'm not quite sure if this is an issue with jCarousel or Views Slideshow. See #1543370: Slides disappear, seemingly at random.

My slideshow always works fine when the page first loads. After a while however, the slideshow is likely to start showing blank slides instead of images. I've seen this happen in Firefox and Chrome.

The correct image does display briefly every time the slideshow advances, but it always gets replaced with a blank slide. The bug seems to occur at random times, and it usually does not fix itself, but there have been a few times where it has fixed itself after I let it sit for a while.

Of note: At one point I had slides 577px wide displayed in a 540px container, with overflow hidden. When the bug occurred, you would see a blank space for the current slide, plus 37px of the right side of the previous slide (horizontal scroll). I now have the container set to 577px, and the space appears totally blank when the bug happens, except for the brief moment when the slideshow advances. Also note that when the slideshow advances, the outgoing slide appears briefly, and the incoming slide is blank -- i.e. the incoming slide does not appear is it's advancing then disappear, it's blank the whole time.

Same is happening here! It's strange that for me this didn't happen until today. It was fine before. Maybe Drupal downloaded an update or something. Hope we find a solution to this..

Having the same issue. Using version 7.x-2.6.

It seems that after a while it loses the left position and positions all the slide outside the viewport div.

An example of this issue is here. Just let the front page sit open for a while as you do other things. Come back to it in an hour or so, and you're likely to see the bug in effect.

I'm also bumping up the priority because I'm using the slideshow as a primary element of my website's front page, and I imagine many other people are too. I can't use jCarousel in production until this issue is fixed.

After digging around a bit more, I'm thinking this may be a jCarousel library bug, relating to the use of circular wrapping. I suppose this ticket can probably be closed, but I will leave that up to the maintainers.

jCarousel or Views Slideshow

The jCarousel module does not depend or use Views Slideshow. I'm guessing you're probably using http://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow_jcarousel

Most of the time problems with scrolling can be corrected by manually setting the number of items to auto-rotate instead of using the "Auto" option.

Hi everybody,
probably the problem is located somewhere else. After checking for hours I finally hit the "admin/config/media/image-styles settings". I checked all possibillities and the only way everything works fine is within a view is if the "Configure field: Content: [yourcckfiled]" / "Node image style" is set to "Node (original images)". Thumbnail, medium or an selfdefined imageset is not working at 100%. Looking at the folders your images and refined images will be stored, you will probably find images missing in the styles folder after activating a node with the view, neither in public/styles folder nor in the private/styles folder or whatever folder you use. That may be a hint for a solution. Hope this helps you a bit.
Best regards
J

in addition to the mentioned above i could solve all problems by changing the permission of the styles folder, and created a new image style @ Home » Administration » Configuration » Media.
All the best

Issue summary: View changes

I think this bug is related to setting a limit on the number of visible slides. I just set it to auto so it filled the space and it worked fine. It was driving me nuts before. You could then control what you actually want displayed using CSS.

I know this is an old issue, but I had this problem and was not able to find anything recent on it to solve. None of the above worked for me.

So the slideshow would cycle through all entries, and after the last one it just went blank but you could tell it was still cycling if you watch the inspector.

I'm on Drupal 7.54, using jCarousel 7.x-2.7.

What solved it for me was switching the theme from Default to none. Leaving this here in case it helps someone else!
