Editor "dogfood" (usability) issues

What bugs do we need to fix before the editor will be really usable for everyday editing tasks?  Please let us know what your own issues are!

We have a placeholder dogfood bug, 12658 with which it's easy to keep track of all the other dogfood bugs.
Use bugzilla's "show dependency tree" link to see the list with its subdependencies.
