If you care enough then toggle the text editor back to the old mode. Was there some split option on the old one I never used?
There is no old mode because this Po$ replaces it, that's the main complaint from everybody
Even if you click the "text mode button":
1. it still doesn't revert to the original editor
2. it still doesn't remember the choice, so one would have to do it each time
3. it's still buggy:
a) some people say it breaks "insert quote"
b) a stupid limit on the size of the text box
c) a monospace font for some incomprehensible reason
d) a larger font than normally + c) means that b) gets even worse
e) related to b), the cursor turns into "hand" rather than "arrows" over the "resize textbox" corner
f) no tooltips over the emoticon buttons, this also applies to WYSYWIG mode
g) press CTRL+Z too many times and it takes you back to WYSYWIG
And most of this breakage I have identified in just a few minutes, so I'm sure there is more. I block scripts to castrate this newfangled plugin most of the time; this doesn't restore full operation of the original SMF editor, but at least gets rid of the worst problems introduced by the new one. So far I'm finding new problems each time I re-enable it to check something.
Last but not least, the forum still hasn't been fully cleaned up after the
previous round of SMF extension experiments
