I doubt it is a bug, it was always working that way, it’s probably better to add a feature request to change the system.

just to clarify a little here, clicking the “Reorder photos” button takes you to an entirely new page, and it’s at that point when your text changes are lost.

the feature request might be something like implementing a pop-up to warn you that your changes will be lost if you don’t save your other changes before reordering photos.
