When creating a group or an event I fill out the title and permalink information. The permalink does a check to make sure that there is no duplicate as one would expect. Then I click the description field. Suddenly the permalink field checks again.

This is probably a minor error.
When I edit the permalink (it does the expected check) and click the description field it checks again. Basically it should not be going an extra check just for clicking the description field. If any extra info, screen shots, or screen videos are needed I can provide those.
