This is somewhat related to bug 62917. When you add an internal link, or otherwise are looking at search results, VisualEditor should defaultly select any page that is an exact match for what you've typed. In particular, if you search for "Computer", and there actually is a page at [[Computer]], then it should default to [[Computer]], not to [[Computer science]] or whatever else comes up first in the search system.
This is aggravated if the exact match is a redirect, because matching redirects are in a separate section of the suggester, and the auto select only considers the first match in the 'articles' section of the suggester. When trying to link to the en.wp redirect "Republic of Vietnam" by typing this directly into the link dialog, the article "Republic of Vietnam Airborne Division" is selected. Ideally, as I type, I would expect that the exact redirect match of "Republic of Vietnam is chosen and that after done, I get: [[Republic_of_Vietnam_Airborne_Division|Republic of Vietnam]].
