Thank you, I think this bug means that I don't have to file a new one.

I spent a chunk of time today trying to use the Inspector to figure out why a margin-padding-etc-less element was taking up additional vertical space, when the only contained element height was less.

Of course it was a hidden   creating a new line, a fact which only became visible when I semi-randomly performed Edit HTML on the relevant block.

Inspector absolutely should have the ability to show encoded HTML entities. But is   a special nasty case for undecoding candidacy? I would be able to spot majority of other characters... but not a space.
