Describe the bug you're encountering

One component schema (item2 in example) includes another (item1 in example) as a sub-object in its definition. The item2 schema resolves correctly in the "Schemas" section of the preview, but the reference to item1 defaults to "string" rather than displaying the sub-object in the route response example textbox when added as a $ref. Adding the item2 schema directly rather than referencing it produces the expected result.

To reproduce...

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://editor.swagger.io
2. Copy the example definition into the editor
3. Compare example text for responses of /notrendered and /rendered
4. Compare schemas for item2Collection* > items > item1Copy of item2CollectionNotRendered and item2CollectionRendered in the Schemas section.

Expected behavior

The response example text for item2CollectionNotRendered and item2CollectionRenderd to match.
