If I have a file link like [[Media:filename.pdf|filename]] on a page that I'm editing with the visual editor, it changes it to [[index.php?title=Media:filename.pdf|filename]] and every other similar file link in the page. These newly renamed filelinks don't work. Is there a way to stop Visual Editor from doing that?

Thanks for your question. I'll see if User:Whatamidoing (WMF) can address it.
I have a similar issue with the categories.
When editing a page in visual editor the categories are red and displayed as "index.php?title=Kategorie:XXX". When saved and viewed it is a normal link.
Same also for some of the links
When I add $wgUsePathInfo=true; in my Localsettings this issue is solved, BUT then I can no longer change the Namespaces in "Special:AllPages".
Thanks! This worked for me. I was hoping to stay with 1.35 because it is an LTS. I checked "Special:AllPages" and it seemed to work for me but I really only have standard Namespaces and may not be using Namespaces as fully as you.
It seems to be fixed in v1.39: phabricator.wikimedia.org/T270219
I'm using v1.38 and will test to upgrade
Adding $wgUsePathInfo=true; to LocalSettings resolved my issue.
I'm using v1.41 and I set $wgUsePathInfo=true; in my Localsettings, but still I get the links changed. Thank you Luigi
I added a Support Desk topic on this issue here: Visual editor breaks category:fubar on pages on Project:Support desk (mediawiki.org)
Just found this page, so I will update here if anyone can help me on that request.
