Description:
I created a wikilink [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:The_Anonymouse/sandbox2&diff=558776770&oldid=548109401] as [[United_States]]. I then tried to use VisualEditor to change the underscore to a space ([[United States]]), but it said that my edit was ignored due to no changes. However, if I actually click the link button and click the United States link suggestion, it works as expected. That is how I eventually accomplished the edit with VisualEditor [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:The_Anonymouse/sandbox2&diff=558777422&oldid=558776770].

This got fixed a long time ago; sorry for the slow triage on your report.
