Public bug reported:

Tested in 15.04 and 15.10

When an image is put into a text or note block via TinyMCE, the alt text
is automatically set to the image's path. Even when you overwrite it in
the HTML code, it is replaced with the image path upon saving.

<img
src="https://yoururl/artefact/file/download.php?file=520&amp;embedded=1&amp;text=569296";
alt="download.php?file=520&amp;embedded=1&amp;text=56">

It would be better if the alt text could be the image description or if
it could be entered manually via the interface.

The alt text changing upon saving the HTML is a problem for
accessibility.
