Is your feature request related to a problem?

Inspector is a very useful thing, and will be even more useful with new code editor, but there one feature which is completely unnecessary.

It's "Script (read-only)" field. It shows what's already visible on screen second time:

There's no need in such thing, and also this casues syntax highlighting and all that stuff to be displayed which may leads to bugs/performance issues [1].

Yeah i think the same, is innecesary functionality and sometimes it get in the way of inspector functionality opening scripts when i am using inspectors for objects or viceversa.

Please remove

I would genuinely love to see solution B/C, but iirc that ability or at least something similar to it is coming with new code editor, so getting rid of the script inspector may be the best solution because there really isn't any point to it
