Current Behavior

After changing the custom text, the live progress doesn't update to the length of the new custom text (e.g., if text is my random text, it doesn't say 0/3) until you type the first word.

Expected Behavior

Live progress should update to the new length.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Set mode to custom
  2. Open the commandline, type change custom text and press enter
  3. Set the custom text to asdf asdf
  4. Click on ok
  5. Type a
  6. Notice how the live progress says 0/9 (the length of the default text) instead of 0/2
Environment

Research direction

Reproduce this in custom mode using the commandline's “change custom text” flow, then trace how the new text length reaches the live progress display. Verify that after confirming asdf asdf, progress immediately shows 0/2 before any typing, and rerun the listed steps to confirm the default text length is no longer shown.
