I'm running: Adblock, Eyedropper, Google docs offline, google docs templates, google keep, new xkit, send from gmail.

Had another go at editing alt text. It goes:

click three dots > click 'Edit Alt Text' > typing > click inside the text box > text box and mini window close

If I have managed to get text in and clicked 'Okay' then try to go back and edit:

click three dots > click 'Edit alt text' > click in text box or try to select text > text box and mini window close.

I can hit backspace or add typing when I open it for the second time, but that means if I have written a decent sentence then I have to just delete it all back to what I want to edit. I also can't look at the sentence as a whole to make sure I've covered everything, spelt it right, etc etc. My understanding is that alt-text is not supposed to be a quick keyword or two, it should clearly describe what the image is for the vision impaired to get the full effect, so a better way to review and edit is super important for accessibility :)
