ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

Users can not edit content presenter files from WebCenter Portal using Chrome or IE browser if the data file has a WYSIWYG element with an embedded YouTube video or iFrame.

This works fine with FireFox.
Issue was reported for custom portal application but issue also reproduces with WebCenter Portal (Spaces).

Behavior is as follows:

• With Chrome:
  The wysiwyg element will show blank and spins. You can't switch to source mode either.
  
  
  
• With IE:
  It shows the information in the WYSIWYG element.
  But doing an update and clicking "Save and Close" or "Cancel" will make the browser to spin in a blank page with changing _adf.ctrl-state and _afrLoop parameters.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Expect being able to edit the wysiwyg element with content presenter.
