For edit icons on inline editors, use CSS visibility instead of display. We try to use CSS min-height on the labels for inline editors to keep them the same height when the edit icon disappears, which works for the most part, except many browsers think that the text baseline moves, which still makes the text jump by a pixel or two. This change alters our javascript to manipulate the visibility parameter of the icon rather than just calling .show() and .hide(), which retains space for the element on the page.
Opened and closed a bunch of inline editors and saw it be silky smooth.
