Created attachment 476237 [details] test case Elements in HTML that have newlines or indentation in their values show up verbatim in previews in ObjectTree outlines. This looks bad when showing a NodeList (return of `document.querySelectorAll()`) or an Array of elements in the Console. Steps to reproduce: - open the attached test case - in the Console, run `document.querySelectorAll('body')` Result: The messy newlines and indentation from the markup shows up in the element preview of the NodeList. After expanding the preview, formatted node is shown. This occurs in the Console because `white-space: pre-wrap` is inherited by descendants of the console message. ``` .console-message-body { white-space: pre-wrap; } ```
