Not a recent regression (reproduced with Firefox 9 as well)

Duplicate of bug 234102?

Hmm.  Why is that iframe getting disabled selections?

(Confirming bug, as I can still reproduce on current Nightly on 64-bit linux, with the attached testcase.)

Comment 5

jsbin is one frequently-used real-world site that's affected by this bug (as shown in dupe bug 1415264).

Also, as an aside: you can make the bug "fix itself" in the attached testcase by adding and then removing "display:none" on the <iframe>'s style (e.g. using devtools).  So this is something that we get incorrect at first, but get correct in whatever rebuilding process gets triggered by that "display" tweak.
