Strange problem where the entire page shows up inside the text editor

Question

I have a recurring but intermitant problem in 1.3 where the page an editor is on shows up inside the editor.. like an iframe in the text input area .. 

I'm using Chrome mostly but not sure if it is browser related.. 

here's what it looks like.. if there is a patch or fix, please advise.    thanks

Note:  I have also been able to duplicate this issue in 1.4 beta 2..  seems to be a intermittent  ckEditor bug brought on by certain configurations or environments.

One possible theory about this bug:

It could be interaction of CKeditor with browser plugins.. the reports I see are from developers mostly.. who tend to have a lot of addins and js includes..  firebug etc..  would be interesting if that's what does it.. ie.. normal users never see the problem  !

Answer 1

I can confirm that this issue occurs in Google Chrome if the MeasureIT plugin is enabled:  https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aonjhmdcgbgikgjapjckfkefpphjpgma

Thanks for this.. Very helpful..  I do indeed use that plugin (among many others) and I had not been able to isolate the problem...

MeasurIT for Chrome has been the culprit in some other JS projects which i have been working on.... The plugin has become a necessary evil :(

Answer 2

this is the latest occurance of this issue..  happened on this site while looking at one of the recent posts .. browser is latest Chrome...    for some reason,  CKeditor decided that  it's text area iframe has a src = the page URL its sitting on !?  looks like this:

even with MeasurIT plugin disabled?
