Image block: “Image Alternative Text” not reflected immediately when Show Image Caption = ON

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: It would be very helpful if updates to Image Alternative Text were reflected immediately in the editor UI even when Show Image Caption is turned ON.
Use-case: While authoring an Image block, authors enter or update Image Alternative Text in the properties panel.
Current/Experienced Behavior: When Show Image Caption is ON, text entered in Image Alternative Text is sometimes not reflected immediately or disappears from the editor view (it only appears after a page reload or publish).
Improved/Expected Behavior: The entered alternative text is consistently and immediately reflected in the editor UI and does not disappear. This would reduce verification effort during authoring and be much appreciated.
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): Experience Manager as a Cloud Service
Customer-name/Organization name: asahi kasei
