Cannot retrieve properties at this time - Content Editor Web Part Error

Sometimes, when I edit content in a Content Editor Web Part, I encounter the following error :
Cannot retrieve properties at this time
The solution is simple, do the following.
On the SharePoint Server:
  1. Open IIS Manager.
  2. In the left pane, expand the server where SharePoint is installed and then click on Application Pools.
  3. Right-click on the application pool from which you get the error.
  4. Click on Recycle.
  5. Close IIS Manager.
  6. Retry saving your work.
