CMS13: Hover in preview pane shows the property code name and not translated label

Visual Builder pane picks up the correct translated label but in Preview pane hover something shows the "system" name, am I missing something or is this a known flaw?

I dug into the 13.1.0 assemblies: this isn't a config issue on your side, it's that Preview and Visual Builder are two separate editing surfaces resolving the caption through two separate metadata pipelines. Classic Preview is the legacy epi-cms (Dojo) on-page-editing overlay, which only gets data-epi-property-name (the raw code name) from the markup and prints property.metadata.displayName, resolved server-side as localization, then EditCaption (your [Display(Name)]), then a fall-back to the property name; Visual Builder is the newer React ContentManager pipeline that never reads that attribute, so it shows the translated label. If the caption comes from a localization provider or XML, the likely cause is CMS-51841 (providers were not applied to property captions in 13.0.x, fixed in 13.1.0), so test on 13.1.0+ first; if a plain [Display(Name)] with no XML still shows the code name there, it is a residual overlay bug worth a support ticket.
