A few tools would make editing multiline text boxes in web page forms much nicer.

The most useful would be find and find & replace.  

Also useful would be spell check or popping up a larger (but modal?) window to edit the text with (cf. OmniWeb).

For a good example of how this would be useful, edit a very large Wiki page.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always
