Endless “Invalid emoji name” modal when emoji name is under 2 characters

Reproduction steps

Open Community Settings → Emoji. Upload an emoji, or select an existing one in the list. Click the Name field and delete the content so it has fewer than 2 characters (0–1 characters). The modal “Invalid emoji name – Emoji name must be at least 2 characters long” appears. Click “Understood”.

Expected behaviour

The modal closes once. The name field shows the red “Name too short” hint, and the user can keep editing the name.

Actual behaviour

After clicking “Understood”, the modal closes and immediately pops up again, repeating endlessly. It can’t be dismissed, and the app is effectively stuck until it’s restarted.
