Description
About the bug
Steps to reproduce:
Write in three points:
foo,location=NA21 value=1
foo,location=NA2\ 1 value=2
foo,location=\ NA21 value=3
Then go to Query builder or the script editor and navigate so that tag values for location are listed
Expected behavior:
Each of the tag values should be listed with it clear which tag is which
Actual behavior:
Three tag values are listed but two are seemingly identical.
If you tick both and look at the generated query you can see the leading space.

Trace how those values are formatted for display and verify that the two values with leading whitespace remain visibly distinct while generated queries preserve the whitespace.
