 If we insert a image which has a caption text and we try to clear the
 caption on the image details screen at the widgets page.
 Then caption text always will be used from the value of
 `$attachment->post_excerpt`.
 So, we can't be empty caption text at the image widget.

 Is this behavior intentional?

 I guess we should remove line 180.
