Description
**DESCRIPTION:**
When editing Tags in the Channel menu, the user is allowed to enter an unlimited amount of text including carriage returns. This allows the creation of very large Tag boxes and makes the app vulnerable to other failure possibilities.
-----
**REPRO STEPS:**
1) Open LBRY 0.16.11 on Android 8.1.0 w/ a Synced Account and Daemon Running
2) Go to your Channel
3) Click the Edit button
4) Click 'Show Optional Fields'
5) Copy a large amount of text from another source
6) Paste the text into the 'Search for more tags' field
**Results:** Field allows unlimited text and carriage returns
**Expected:** Field limits character count and does not allow carriage returns
