Within the past week or so, calling execCommand("insertHTML"...) has stopped working the way that you'd expect it to. When passed a valid HTML string, it looks like the editor is completely ignoring the outermost element. The odd part is that execCommand returns true, even though the HTML wasn't inserted. So, for instance, if you call execCommand("insertHTML", false, "<b>this text should be bold</b>"); the text will show up in the midas editor, but won't be bold.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Call execCommand("insertHTML"...) with valid HTML.

Actual Results:  
The HTML doesn't get inserted, or gets incompletely inserted.

Expected Results:  
The entire HTML string is inserted into the editor.

Attachment: Testcase

Here's a testcase. This pretty clearly shows what's wrong.

Confirmed.
Maybe the fix for bug 333063 could fix it. Please try with the 2006-04-26 trunk build?
