On pages which start with a hyperlink, the link editing widget opens automatically when VE starts up. This is quite annoying, as 99% of the time you want to edit the text of the page, and not the hyperlink. Is there a way to disable this, other than adding whitespace to the start of the page before the link?

I think there is a task I filed about this behavior. However, I vaguely recall that it got relabelled in "dev jargon" afterwards, so I'm unable to tell you what it is ATM. I'll ask.
While I still haven't been able to locate the task, we seem to recall the problem has been fixed on WMF wikis a long ago. Have you met it elsewhere perhaps?
