[$75] Handles with "." in the name does not display correctly

[hokienick]

Part 1
If I @ someone like kiril.kartunov in a post, and if I type slow enough, I can choose his handle from the list. However once I type "." the list goes away, which doesn't help when I am typing normally.

Part 2
Even after choosing his name, once posted the tag doesn't appear correct visually:

@hokienick As per the current implementation, when username includes special characters, have to use double-quotes. Please refer comment #361 (comment)

@atelomycterus - Lower priority, but can we automate this a bit? If the user selects a handle with a . from the list - can we automatically add the "?

@jmgasper I've implemented it in #361 (comment).

Tested in DEV:

@atelomycterus - Strange - that should be deployed in prod. Any reason why it wouldn't have worked for @hokienick ?

[jmgasper]

Could it be because there is an @kiril and an @kiril.kartunov?

[atelomycterus]

@jmgasper Yes, I see. If user types with '.':

However once I type "." the list goes away, which doesn't help when I am typing normally.
