Occasionally, when I try to edit a post, the text box decides that it doesn't want to wrap to fit in the post -- so I wind up with text running past the edge of the screen, well off to the side of my browser where I can't see it anymore. (Things are fine when I click on 'go advanced')

I haven't run into that problem. Are the posts you're editing ones that have long links or LaTex code in them? Maybe the line breaks are being preserved in the edit window, even though the actual code is too long for a line? You'd be more likely than me to be editing posts with lots of LaTex in them, so that could be why I haven't encountered such a problem.
