 * I have read numerous posts about the visual editor and none of them apply in 
   my situation. I have numerous blogs and have been blogging for seven years with
   WordPress. This is only happening with one blog and happens no matter which browser
   I’m using. I have two things going on.
 * First, I cannot set the Visual Editor as my default editor. When I hit “add new
   post” the box comes up with both the HTML and Visual tabs but it is set to HTML.
   I have to manually switch over Visual. The box is NOT checked on my user profile
   to disable the visual editor.
 * Second, when I do switch using the Visual tab, a little white box pops up in 
   the editor in which I am to write my text. The box is about half as wide as the
   editor and long enough for about three lines of text. I don’t get such a box 
   on any of my other blogs nor do I get it if using the HTML editor–I get the full
   width of the text editor.
 * I could deal with the width issue but the length issue is driving me crazy. It
   used to be that we could set the length but I can’t seem to find that option 
   any longer.
