Actually, what seems to be going on is that the header bar and the toolbars take up so much vertical space in this scenario that there's no room left for content in the editor. We should figure out a way to handle this (it will be relevant on projectors and on netbooks in particular). Perhaps by hiding the page header bar while in the editor?

Another residual side effect from the scrolling CKEditor plugin, I believe.  Desperately want to remove it completely.

Since we last looked at this, modifications to the scrolling have been made.  Can you look at this again sheppy?

There are definitely still problems scrolling this interface. The toolbar sometimes gets orphaned way above the edit box, and sometimes it becomes an extremely narrow vertical strip down its left edge. It's pretty dreadful.

We are temporarily re-enabling the scrolling plugin, so this issue will re-appear. We will remove it again when bug 913441 is closed.
