The build method creates an IntersectionObserver, but it is not cleaned up at any point. This means that each time an instance is opened, a new IO is created with all the previous looking for elements that no longer exist to intersect with the viewport. To prevent this, I saved the observer to the GLightbox class so it could be cleaned up using
.disconnect()
in the destroy method.
