Description
Description:
When we write the channel name while creating a new channel, sometimes the feedback which is supposed to show the availability of that name generates wrong names. Sometimes it responds with a string which is a substring of our chosen name.
Steps to reproduce:
1)Click on create new channel button on the left-hand side panel of the rocket-chat window.
2)Try searching for possible channel names in the Name textbox.
Expected Behaviour:
The feedback should spell our chosen name exactly.
Actual Behaviour:
Sometimes generates incorrectly spelled names.
1)Test 1
2)Test 2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the create-new-channel UI using the Name textbox and compare the feedback with the entered channel name. Trace the availability feedback from that entry point; done means suggested or reported names preserve the chosen spelling exactly in both reported test cases.
