Although I was able to reproduce the problem, it seems that after 5 seconds of waiting, the description of the image is updated as it appears in your video.

I don't think this is a problem, I think it's a matter of retrieving information from the server.

The problem is that the description is always shown after the second opening of info panel, no matter how long you wait.

also here, in immich web i can see my comments
in the app for ios no
true that you have to tap twice in the (i)
the first tap shows VOID field, the second the inserted comment.

Waiting does not pop up the description!

I'm happy to fix it.

aea1c46bea/mobile/lib/providers/asset_viewer/asset_description.provider.dart (L48-L61)

It appeared that _asset.exifInfo is null when you open the sheet for the first time. When you close it and open it again, we get some value in _asset.exifInfo.

I'm still investigating where exifInfo changed.
