IDEA 13 XML editor does not show resource value after clicking on it

Question

Let's say I have a resource @dimen/txt_size with the value of 20 . When I open the XML layout file in the XML Text editor, I will notice that it shows grey-colored value "20" instead of "@dimen/txt_size". This is normal behaviour as of IDEA 13 (as I think).

Then, when I click on the grey-colored text , the value "20" will convert to "@dimen/txt_size" as IDEA will stop enterpreting the value. All of this goes by plan.

But how can I return to value display as it was the first time I opened the XML layout file?

I tried pressing ESC, clicking somewhere else, changing to another file and returning to this one... all in vain. I cannot make it display value "20" again.

No this is not a bug.
Its the default state of IntelliJ.
What happens is that instead of showing you the tag @dimen/txt_size it resolves that tag to its actual value ( 20 ) when compiled/parsed.
See example bellow:

The green one is the value parsed ( sync4 )
and the red one is what is actual value that exists in the xml file ${rabbit.host}
