Description

### Quick summary

When editing the number of items in a Slideshow Block or Coblocks Carousel Block, the number of items in the media library or the slideshow/carousel will be displayed incorrectly before updating the gallery

This bug is a display error only. It doesn't adversely affect the use of the blocks.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Slideshow and Coblocks Carousel block editors, then trace where the media-library count is displayed after selecting Add to Gallery. Done means both blocks show the selected-item count as X of X before the gallery is updated, without changing the platform's existing usability.
