What works for me:
 - add the caption to one of the images, make sure it's applied
 - select all the other images where you want to apply the same caption
 - select the image where you have added the caption *this must be the active 
image*
- now you will see the caption in the edit box. Do a small edit on it, e.g.  
add and remove a "." (dot)
- apply the "edit", it should now be applied to all the selected images.
