Description

[Peter Forsyth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Firefox version 3.6 & 3.7a

When using an editable IFRAME, you can type into the IFRAME without a problem, but once you insert a table into the IFRAME you cannot type or insert anything into a cell within the table

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a page with as editable IFRAME in it
2.Open the page in Firefox
3.Copy & paste a table into the IFRAME (copy HTML table from somewhere)
4.Try to type into a cell with the table
Actual Results:  
Nothing appears
Keydown event is accepted and processed but nothing appears within the table

Expected Results:  
You should see what you type in

this problem did not accur in 3.5.8
I don't know if there is some kind of new Advanced setting causing this problem, and I couldn't find this as a bug anywhere in Bugzilla

Thank you any kind of help on this

Or when we copy anything in clipboard, and try after to select the table with mouse, we can't. With IE8 and old Firefox version, we could.
With this bug, we can't copy and paste table. 

Thanks
