HI Jonathan - Funny thing - I (for various reasons) have been using Google Chrome browser, and the editor simply does not work with that (I don't get _anything_ but an editable text area).
If I _really_ want to edit thru browser, I go to my Firefox. While the editor is _interesting_ there, I (personally) don't find it to be enough for "real work" - so with Firefox I simply install the "Its all text" plugin and configure it to use my favorite editor (gvim in my case, but it can be anything). Now - all issues of session, font size, etc. are ... irrelevant and decoupled. I like it this way - I don't care what web2py editors do; for me it's just for an occaisional convenience, not main use. Of course everyone will not approach it this way - but for serious work, I use other channels (its-all-text is only small level; I really prefer parallel work in WingIDE). Just to show another perspective on this topic.
