Text-based community icon shrinks when the community name has 5 or more words

(#3303) Bug Needs triage community desktop ui

Observed behaviour

For some reason adding a 5th word shrinks the community icon. What's shown in the preview is reflected in the actual icon as well.

Reproduction steps

  1. Create a new community with a name 4 words long
  2. Keep an eye on the icon preview
  3. Press space and enter the first character for the 5th word in the community name
  4. For fun, you can go back and forth to backspace the character

Details

Expected behaviour Since text-based community icons are limited to the initialization of the first 4 words, the 5th word and beyond should not affect the icon whatsoever.
