Issue with fullwidth easy slider displaying incorrectly

Recently my fullwidth easy sliders have stopped displaying correctly on desktop on one of my sites. They’re set to Featured Large (1500×630), and are supposed to show a short caption title centred over an image.

However when the page loads it either displays the caption in a blank area under the image slider, or in place but with a large blank area underneath the slider. Either way it looks really ugly and is not what’s intended.

I found the issue described on this thread, but with no solution. I have the same issue; it’s happening with fullwidth easy sliders which have previously worked and displayed properly. The height value is being miscalculated; when I inspect the element it shows this.
<ul class="avia-slideshow-inner " style="padding: 0px; height: 1128px;">

That height is incorrect; it should be a maximum of 630px. I’m not sure why it would suddenly have changed, or why this value is larger than it should be… can you help please?

This isn’t happening on mobile, just desktop (checked on Chrome, Firefox and Safari on multiple computers & OSes)

(EDIT: solved! I found the same issue was documented in a post from October… the culprit is lazy loading in Smush. I’ve switched this off and am pleased to report the issue is no longer happening.
