Alternate text grayed out

Does anyone know why when you open accessibility for images, etc. the text is there, but grayed out? To me, it looks like it is ready to go, but when you go to adjust Focus Order, it doesn't show up as the alternate text that shows up as grayed out. Any tips for not having to deal with this?
The workaround is to type a space after ALL gray text to "enter" it in - then it shows up, but why, if it's there, can't it just show up, not grayed out and count when you go to Focus Order?
Thank you!

    Hi Jennifer,

    I'm happy to help here! In Storyline 360's Focus Order, if an object doesn't have alternate text, screen readers will read the name of that object as it appears in the timeline. 

    The grayed-out text in the Accessibility options shows the object's name in the Storyline timeline. Screen readers will read this text out unless you edit it, and once edited, it also shows up in the Focus Order window. Here's a screen recording illustrating this.

    Let me know if this answers your question!
