Use the Rich Text editor to quickly apply formatting to your content...
What is the Rich Text Editor?
When you are editing content, such as Pages, News and Comments, you can either use Wiki Markup Editor or the Rich Text editor1 .
The Rich Text editor allows you to apply formatting to your content in just the same way as you would, for example, write an email:
| Ref | Notes |
|---|---|
| 1 | In order to use the Rich Text editor, a system administrator must enable it in the General Configuration settings |
You can switch between the Rich Text editor, the Wiki Markup editor and the Preview of the content at any time by clicking the tabs above the editor.
If you prefer using the Rich Text editor, you can click the link next to the tabs to make it your default editor.
Note: The Confluence "Rich Text" editor currently only works in Firefox and Internet Explorer (and any browsers based on them, such as Flock and Neoplanet).

When editing in RTE, particularly a long page, when the mouse focus moves out of the RTE, the RTE scrolls to the top of the page. When editing the Wiki Markup it does not happen.
Its infuriating for some of our users. Is there a way to turn this off? It only seems to be happening for Themebuilder themes. If I go back to, say, the Documentation theme then the RTE behaves normally.
