Field Description is not displayed into sharepoint 2019 and online modern experince libraries

Field Description is not displayed into sharepoint 2019 and online modern experince libraries, description will appear only if it's required and it tried to save data without entering required fields data, or by step into the fields to enter text or choose items from multi choice field. Is this a common issue ? is it going to be solved soon in any updates in both 2019 and online.

What does "Field description is not displayed into SharePoint 2019 and online modern experience lists or libraries." refer to?

I test in the SharePoint 2019 and Online, field description shows in the edit form of modern list, same behavior as classic list.

Modern list:

Whether all columns occur this issue?

Have you used PowerApps form in this list?

No, I don't use powerApps it's OOB library, as u can see below i set a description for Title column and it's not required and there is not description displayed, then when i click into the text area i got description displayed, but if i clicked into in any other control description is not displayed.

- Note: we are using classic team and publishing templates with modern experience enabled for libraries and lists
