Exit from visual state breaks dot repeation

So, I just noticed this problem. Here is the steps to reproduce it: 1. "i" 2. Type something, e.g., type foo 3. Esc 4. Press . will repeat the insertion of "foo" which is good. 5. "v" to enter visual state, then "Esc" to exit. 6. Press "." and I expect "foo" to be inserted but nothing happened. York,
