atlassian-plugin.xml allows websections with "." in keys, but presents error on collapsed menus

[Diego Ferreira]

Hey everybody, 

Recently I've stumbled in an issue with one of our plugins. We were getting this wierd error when using a Jira with a smaller window.

Error happens when windows forces Jira UI to collapse some menus under "More" and on mouse over a given websection, it would throw a JS error.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '_state' of null

with it's source in 

module-key = 'com.atlassian.auiplugin:internal-@atlassian-aui-src-js-aui-internal-state

The reason why is that it should find the aui-dropdown menu for this websection, but it does not render, if the key contains something like "my.plugin.web-section".

But it properly renders if key is set as "my-plugin-web-section".

No errors occur if the window is wide enough for the menu item be presented individually.

Is there some documentation for best practices on this, or have I hit a bug?

Good to know. Probably worth reporting as a change request for the docs on that module.
