Hi @salesteam, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

The first input at the top of the page is the title of the attachment.

Since WordPress 3.5, the title attribute is intentionally not added to the generated image markup for better accessibility, see the dicsussion in #18984.

Since WordPress 4.7, the title is also not used as a fallback for alt attribute, see the discussion in #34635.
