New Text Editor = Bunk

Sure it looks nice, but when right clicked upon, it interferes with the Firefox spellcheck thing, because of this feature:
Click for larger image
I'm pretty sure if any of us want to cut, copy or paste, we'll just quickly highlight the section and use Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C or Ctrl + V. I guess it's a question of which is more important. But who will actually use the right click copy thing?

did the actual text editor change at all or was the copy paste box the only thing that was added?

Whatever it did, I'm back to using the simple text editor. That would be a nice fix sometime for someone tho, since lots of people run Firefox.

i don't like the fancy editor at all. i don't use it. i just use the html tags for any bolding or italicizing

Same here.

I've never used the text editor on here. Mainly because I use Opera and it doesn't work with Opera well at all.

HTML is so easy to use anyways.

As in getting rid of it to just have the basic text entry box?

Go up to 'My NS' and select 'Account Tools'

today was the first i noticed that you cant right click for spell check with firefox since the editor got updated. also, i'm noticing that it takes a while longer to load than the old one, and there's no border around the text box, not that thats really a huge deal...

The border thing bothers me as well, not sure why. Although it really isn't that big of a deal.

I am so used to the old ways of putting pictures and changing sizes etc... that the text editor just looks weird on the page. I like the old school text entry with nothing but a box.
