 I absolutely hate that the Alternative Text box doesn't fill in with the
 title. I just realized this so I have a tons and tons of photos in posts
 now without Alt Text. It always filled in before which was excellent since
 I've name my images correctly.
 If you're going to ruin a great feature for those who liked it, why don't
 you at least create a setting that gives us a choice how we want it to
 work when we upload a photo.
 It's ridiculous to have to do double the work by having to name all our
 images twice.
 Sometimes I wonder if anyone at Wordpress even talks to Bloggers/site
 users before making changes! I could cry for all the lost SEO
 opportunities and extra work that'sI am now facing.
