The bug

When trying to set the image description to blank, it defaults to what's stored in the photo's exif tag. There doesn't seem to be a way to clear this without going and editing the image file itself.

There was an existing issue #11238 of this same problem. It looks like this had been fixed, but it seems to have reverted to be a problem again.
