Hi Hughes,
Thanks for sending the video - we understand the behavior, which is by design.
Description is a hardcoded value set into the symbol by the UDP Wizard. The reason it is set as hardcoded text is because the text in a library symbol may be different from the value used in the Description attribute of the product.
As an example, in the Stardraw library the Crestron product AMP-8075 has the description "Avia 8-Channel Power Amplifier, 75W/Ch., 4/8 Ohm or 70V, North America & Japan, 100-120V", which is useful for identifying and selecting the product, but this much text would not fit into a symbol well so a shortened label is used, "8 Channel Amp".
To keep things simple in the UDP Wizard the decision was taken, quite a while ago, to hardcode rather than bind that text to an Attribute.
I hope this helps to explain what's happening, although I can understand - in the particular case that you have reported - that it may seem un-intuitive.
Kind regards, Rob Robinson Stardraw.com
