I always use the Source Editor anyway. It's just so much more powerful, once you have half of an idea of what you're doing. Unfortunately that setting doesn't help. When I try to edit a page, the edit box comes up, along with a progress bar. The progress bar stops at about 80%. I can manipulate the text on a page using the Source Editor, but no submit options ever appear, so it's effectively nearly useless.

The best workaround I've found is simply appending  to the page's URL. Fortunately that works even for pages with no page history (besides creation), which was a shortcoming of the method I outlined earlier.
