Magento2 - Removing inline translations does not revert to original string

Question

I have a web site that was originally translated using inline translation. I am in the process of moving the translations to a .csv file. However when i remove the translations from the inline translation fields, instead of reverting back to the default string it becomes empty (showing nothing) and the editing field becomes broken.

You can try to go to the template and delete __() and leave the string inside.

For example:

Original string:

echo __('Filter by %1', $filter->getName());

String without translate in csv:

echo 'Filter by', $filter->getName();

By deleting __() Magento doesn't search this string in the translation csv.
