Storyline 360 Screen reader reads icon name instead of text in button

The most recent Storyline 360 update v. 3.70.29211.0 has a glitch where the alternative text in a button with an icon defaults to the name of the icon rather than the text in the button. 

Button without icon and alt text

Button with icon alt text

I have to manually change the alt text to match the text in the button to resolve this. This is a change of behavior and I have a lot of projects that were depending on the default alt text.
