Hi,
No sure if a screenshot will help.
1/ Add the iFrame code to your embed web part like you normally would and publish your page. You will see the issue with the mouse over we are experiencing
2/ Place the page into edit mode, in the embed web part text box delete the iFrame code and replace with something like "facebook.com" and then click the Republish button

For some reason it ignores the facebook.com code you enters and displays the web part correctly using the previous iFrame code

Hi James,

Thanks for clarify. Yeah it is "working". Next time I edit the page and other webpart if I changed anything again I need to take care of this workaround because if I am changing something in Edit mode in other webpart it is going back with the problem.

MSFT giving this solution? hats Off!! Hope some permanent solution will be there soon.

It is not only FB or something. I have found whenever there is iFrame there is a problem. Like in File Viewer webpart also the PDF is not showing untill mouseover.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes you are correct - if you edit the page you need to keep applying this work around and it is for anything embeded. Happy to have it working but MSFT need to fix the underlying issue.

No problems 🙂
