Description

At least in Firefox 24 on Linux (not tested in other systems) VisualEditor does not load on main namespace pages whose titles begin with a full stop (period). The URL changes and the page reloads but remains in view mode.

Tested at [[.mp]], [[.uk]], [[.300]] and [[.300 Remington American Magnum]] at en.wp and at the .uk articles at it.wp, de.wp, fr.wp and es.wp

The bug does not manifest in other namespaces, e.g. [[User:Thryduulf/.100]] and [[User:.anaconda]] load correctly.

Version: unspecified
