For the life of me I cannot reproduce this error. Can you open a ticket
on Github with specific step by step instructions to reproduce (assume I
know nothing).

Right, I've added trim filters but, with and without a space, I could
still not reproduce.

Checking this box just sets the database field for ipv6enabled. Hiding
and showing the v6 details is just UI sugar. It's actually useful that
we keep the v6 settings even if v6 is disabled.

Ah yes - this is because this field works in two ways:

1) shows available v6 addresses from the database (i.e I suspect it was 
not your browser auto-filling the v6 address but it was already 
available in the dropdown). Delete the database entry via the IP 
Addressing option in the left hand menu.

2) if you enter an address that is not in the database, the field will 
store it in the database for the selected VLAN.
