Autoplaying Keen Slider Carousel jumps horizontally on initial mobile scroll

I have a autoplaying, continuously looping and click/draggable carousel I’ve created using Keen Slider.

This works well, however on mobile the carousel content jumps horizontally when I scroll down the page. This only occurs on the first scroll and is fine after. Tested on iPhone 15 Pro in Safari and Chrome, same result in each.

After some research it looks as though this is in relation to the origin recalculating as the viewport resizes. You can actually see this on desktop if you shrink/enlarge your browser horizontally. The content jumps, which I don’t mind. But on mobile I think this looks like a bug as it’s just a page scroll – but I imagine caused by the dynamic resizing of the URL bar.

Slides/Origin Doc: https://keen-slider.io/docs#slides-object–number–function–null

I’ve included a code example, where you can see the jump/shift on desktop if you resize your browser. I know my issue is on mobile but hopefully this helps to see the issue and test.

I’m not sure if disabling this is the correct approach but basically I don’t want the content to realign to the left edge (or centre, which is another option) on resize.

I’d really appreciate some help and ideas on the best way to resolve this issue – or at least make it more deliberate.

/* Lazy Load Effect */

const pixelImage = document.querySelectorAll(".pixel-load")

pixelImage.forEach(div => {
    const img = div.querySelector("img")

    function loaded() {
        div.classList.add("loaded")
    }

    if (img.complete) {
        loaded()
    } else {
        img.addEventListener("load", loaded)
    }
})
