"if it ain't broke, don't fix it" It's been said before, but I don't think it has sunk in yet. Please go back to the old editor that worked!
A few (very few) people have suggested that the new editor is an improvement and fixes some problems in FireFox. They must be living on a different planet than I am!
I am really furious at the new editor. :cursing: It is total crap and makes life here at Rosity a misery.
Whilst using a context menu option will sometimes highlight spelling mistakes in FF, it still does not provide the alternate spellings, because a right click on a word brings up the editor's context menu, not the FireFox one. The FF spell check works on every other site I use, so I don't see any excuse for it to be broken on this site!
I used to be able to drag and drop the smilie icons. That no longer works, and I have to use the text versions.
The double spacing is driving me mad. And no, Shift+Enter does not solve the problem if you are pasting code in pre tags.
This

In the old editor I used to be able to do Right Click and "Select All". That does not work in the new editor, and is another annoance.
In spite of what has been said, I can't see anything that workes better in the new editor, or that has been "fixed", and a lot of things now work worse, or don't work at all. I didn't have any problems with the old editor, but I can't stand the new one.
Please burn the new editor, and go back to the old one that worked!
