Editing existing posts still uses the old editor system; this bug should be fixed once we migrate that to the new editor system.

• DannyH set Security to None.

Edit post now uses the new editor and that should be fixed.

Checked in betalabs.

When switching between editing modes the behavior of cursor placement is consistent - this is an improvement.
Current behavior: If your cursor is placed for editing at the beginning or in the middle of a big chunk of text - switching to another editing mode will always place a cursor at the end of the text.

The behavior Elena noted (switching moves the cursor to the end) is acceptable.
