Thanks for the response Crystal! I'm seeing this on Chrome 79.0.3945.117, Firefox 72.0.1, IE 11.1184.17134.0 and Edge  42.17134.1098.0 on my Windows pc. I've noticed that when using browsers other than Chrome I'm able to select the text in any of the captions except the one with the links if that helps.

I've done a bit more poking around this morning and the hyperlinks seem to work fine as long as they're in the second or third caption, but not in the first, strangely. I tested this with a couple of carousels in different courses with different links and it seems pretty consistent.

Thanks for the detailed reply, Tim. It helped me see what's happening.

I'm finding that hyperlinks in the first caption won't work if there are captions on the other images in a carousel unless the last image caption also contains a hyperlink.

I'm sorry for the inconsistent behavior on captions in a carousel. We are having a closer look at this behavior, and I'll keep you posted here. 

In the meantime, this is what will work:

  • A hyperlink in the last image caption
  • A hyperlink in the first image caption, if no other images have any caption
