If you look to the far left of the text input window, at the top, you'll see a tiny triangle with no explanation of what it does.  Click on that and the "fancy-schmancy" bit will roll up and out of sight.  It's just to the left of where it says "Style" in case your eyes are as bad as mine. ~lol~

I'm on Firefox and have had no problems though, with the options tab open or closed.
