 Start a Bulk Edit that includes a post with a single space for a title
 (which is shown as "(no title)"), and the Bulk Edit title won't display it
 as "(no title)".

 That's because the title on the Edit screen is run through
 _draft_or_post_title, which checks get_the_title, running those filters
 (including trim).

 On the other hand, the title in inline post data is simply
 $post->post_title. Patch attached to instead use get_the_title.

 Patch doesn't use _draft_or_post_title() because that would add "(no
 title)" to a Quick Edit of a post without a title.

 For reference, it's not as edge of a case as you might think. Somehow, a
 line break made its way into the title field, so the title looked empty,
 and get_the_title evaluated it to empty, but $post->post_title didn't echo
 it as empty.
