90% of the time when I try to edit a page with an iframe, the error appears,
"This Page Can't be Edited for an Unknown Reason." In this state, I can't copy
or paste text or many other functions. If you make a small edit in the code
(such as add <br>), when you save, the warning will not appear but the page will
still be uneditable. 

If I open subsequent pages with iframes, these have a 50% chance of being editable.

This error also appears in Windows XP. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a page with iframes in Composer
2. The error will appear.
3. When this error messages is acknowledged most edit features are disabled.

Actual Results:  
Pages are largely uneditable.

Expected Results:  
Open up the page as any other page with 100% editing functionality.

Daniel--are there fixes that aren't landed for this?  Is this a dupe?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

This bug was fixed a number of months ago. It was confirmed by other users in a
