Description

**DESCRIPTION:**

A red underline appears on text in the Title or Channel Name fields randomly when the user enters the Edit Channel menu. Sometimes it appears in the Title field, sometimes in the Channel Name field, sometimes both of them, and sometimes none of them.

It looks like a spelling correction mechanism, and always appears under the word 'Cahlen', so you may need a "mispelled" word in the field for this to reproduce.

-----

**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 (should have a word in name which would fail spell correction)
3) Tap the Edit icon
4) Tap the Back button
5) Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until bug reproduces

**Results:** Sometimes a red line appears either in the Title and/or Channel Name fields

**Expected:** Red line never appears until Title and Channel Name fields

Research direction

Start in the Edit Channel flow, focusing on the Title and Channel Name fields and the transition between opening the editor and tapping Back. Reproduce on Android 8.1 using the listed steps with a misspelled channel word such as “Cahlen”; done means no red underline appears in either field when entering the menu.
