On Community builder pages (and possibly all category views popups) :

In components/com_joomgallery/interface.php change this line:

$link .= '" title="'.htmlspecialchars($obj->imgtitle, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');

to the following:

$link .= '" title="'.htmlspecialchars($obj->imgtitle, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') .htmlspecialchars($obj->imgtext, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');

And also this one

$link .= '" title="'.htmlspecialchars($img->imgtitle, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');

to the following:

$link .= '" title="'.htmlspecialchars($img->imgtitle, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') .htmlspecialchars($img->imgtext, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');

[Subtle difference between the two : in 1st case the object is referred to as $obj and in the second as $img]
