16831	Commenting images in the Page or Post text-editor will break the page	jroakes		"If you add <!-- --> around an image as in:

{{{
<!-- <a href=""http://site.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ico-mega-mail.png""><img src=""http://site.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ico-mega-mail.png"" alt="""" title=""ico-mega-mail"" width=""40"" height=""35"" class=""alignnone size-full wp-image-73"" /></a>-->
}}}

in the editor of the edit post/page screens using ""html"" mode the commenting  is not handled correctly on the front-end.  When the_content() is called the <!-- part is left in and the --> part is stripped effectively commenting all of you page from the <!-- to the next time you have commenting in your template file.  I have tested in 3.0 and a new installation of 3.1.
