Updating Alt Text on Image within Gallery Block is slow with large galleries #44527

Open darthdurden opened 2 years ago

Description

When creating an image gallery with a large number of images, using the Alt Text field on the image block editor becomes almost unuable. I suspect that every keystroke is causing the entire gallery block to re-render thus delaying the display of the typed strokes.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Create a new gallery block
  2. Add 100 reasonably large images to the gallery (1440px wide in my case)
  3. Click on an image and edit the Alt Text in the right hand image block editor
  4. Observe that typing can be quite slow and delayed at times.

Has there been any movement on this at all? This is a pretty big blocker for my workflow.
