Description
Expected Behavior
When creating a widget for a dashboard, I can select an event, app and visualisation that supports segmentation, like bar chart.
Then I select an event from the dropdown and if that event have segmentation properties, I can selet one of those from the Breakdown list.
Current Behavior
When trying to select a segmentation property on an even where the name end with a period, ".", the breakdown list is empty.
Even if those events are visible in the All Events view, including their segmentations and option to display those elements with the segmentation. (as expected)
Screenshots (if appropriate):
Possible Solution
The workaround is of course removing the "." from the end of the Event name, but this might be a symtom of other, similar issues where the content of the event name (or segment name) might trigger other bugs like this.
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
Example: If I have an event called "User." with a segmentation like this: ["Country": ...]
In the All Events view I have "User." in the events list and I can select "Country" in the segmentation list and get the the graph rendered fine.
But in the Dashboard widget, after I select Events, my app, the Event "User." the Breakdown list shows up but is empty.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the dashboard widget flow with an event named "User." and a "Country" segmentation, then compare it with the working All Events view. The issue is done when the Dashboard widget's Breakdown list shows available segmentations for event names ending in a period.
