Description

Calling html() with an argument containing a html comment fails if the comment has a start tag embedded somewhere.
I don't care about the comment itself, but the non comment part of the argument should be processed.
This bug occurs at least in FireFox, Edge and Chrome (I suspect other browsers as well), in 3.x versions of jquery, not before.
A work-around is to embed the argument in a div.
