Description

Screenshot 2022-06-17 144801
### Impacted plugin

Jetpack

### Steps to Reproduce

1. When images in the carousel are being advanced too quickly, images suddenly get overlaid with a semitransparent color.
2. Only after opening and closing the carousel, it goes back to normal. I can't see any CSS causing the bug.
3. Probably only in Chrome and Edge as far as I could verify.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Jetpack Carousel issue on the linked official demo in Chrome or Edge, advancing images rapidly and comparing the result before and after opening and closing the carousel. Trace the carousel's frontend image-transition behavior; done means rapid advancement no longer adds a semitransparent overlay and normal image display is preserved.
