Strange blog entry behavior

A couple of times - can't recall if it's all the time - when replying to a post, the reply page has no formatting buttons, and the text entry box doesn't behave the same as in original posts in that a return inserts a single line feed, not a double as in the original post text entry box. If I preview what I've entered, then return to the entry page using the browser's "back" function, then everything is fine.

Second strange behavior - when I just replied to a post a little earlier, I entered my text (with the behavior described above) and after previewing a second time, again went back to correct an error and the text box now showed the text with no line feeds, just the code for it, and the codes for other things like emoticons. I think that's the first time I've seen that.

Finally, and I'm not certain on this because once I experienced it, I started doing it different, but when I needed to go back and make corrections after a preview, instead of using the browser's back function, I just dropped down to the text entry box below the preview, and edited there. Then when I previewed again, the changes were not made. I had to use the browser's back function to get back to the original reply page to make changes that were kept.

If you can't duplicate this, I wouldn't be surprised as it doesn't happen every time. But I thought I'd call your attention to it in case it's real and can be fixed.

Re: Strange blog entry behavior

I've noticed the first problem, but not the other two. It turns out that the editor being used is a little flakey, and I'm not sure why. I'm trying to decide if I should just ditch it or what.
