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.

Isn't this a duplicate of #8912 ?

Indeed.
