Numeric entities such as A display simplay as A and not the true source code
when you choose "view selection source" from the right-click menu. Doesn't
happen when you use the view, page source menu option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a page with numeric entities.
2. Select the text.
3. Right click the selection, and choose "view selection source"

Actual Results:  
The numeric entites display simply as normal text.

Expected Results:  
The entity html to display instead.
Duped as per Gavin's request.

Just FYI, the code displayed in "view selection source" isn't the "true source
code", it's the DOM source, which explains why this bug is a dupe of that one.
