 In the Media Library, in the metadata entry area (see below image), the
 Alt Text entry field should be expandable, just as the Caption and
 Description fields are. This is because the Alt Text field should ideally
 include sufficient detail that a visually-impaired reader could gain all
 of the information from the media item (e.g. image) from only the Alt Text
 contents.

 Using WP 4.6

 In fact, this field should be at least have two lines to encourage entry
 of sufficient details.
