problem with my website??

Please take a look at this page on my website:

http://top-drawer.net/artist-4.html

click on the image which will reveal a lightbox. On the lightbox click the right arrow quickly and see what happens. I'm currently looking at my website through google chrome. When I click the right arrow on the lightbox it puts a wierd blue highlight like when your trying to copy along the bottom of the picture. What I'm finding difficult to solve is that I've used the same code on the left arrow and doesn't have any problems.

troy beckett - It looks like it's selecting empty lines on the page due to what the computer perceives as a double or triple click. You can add the code below to the css for #overlay to prevent text highlighting since there is no text in that div. 

#overlay {
  -webkit-user-select: none;  /* Chrome all / Safari all */
  -moz-user-select: none;     /* Firefox all */
  -ms-user-select: none;      /* IE 10+ */
  user-select: none; 
}
