Fix the description editor
I'd like to be able to cut-n-paste unicode characters into the text like we used to be able to the first couple of years of this game. At some point that magically got nerfed and we've been unable to do it since.
Frankly the entire editor needs to be overhauled regardless...

I'd like the damn thing to work like it used to before AE came out again. That brought a whole crapload of text related bugs in, both for AE windows and for Character information windows, all of them rather annoying.
It's taken how long to fix, too? -_-

This request is part of the description editor, seen in player creation and in going to the in-game Menu and choosing "I.D."
When I hit 'left arrow' when the cursor is just in front of a carriage return, I do not want to have the box scroll to the very beginning. Similarly, when I hit 'right arrow' just in front of a carriage return, I do not want to have the box scroll to the very end.
I would like the home and end keys to take me to the beginning and end of a line consistently.
I do not want to be the arrow keys to be the only method of 'scrolling' the description box.
When I click in the text, I only want the cursor to move, not the entire box.
When the cursor moves outside the description box, I would like the description to scroll to follow the cursor. I especially don't want the drawn cursor to remain stationary while the logical cursor moves, meaning new characters are put into the area that the box is not showing while nothing appears at the location of the graphical cursor.
When I type in letters, I would like them to appear at the location of the cursor, at that moment. Not after a delay. Not when I am editing a different line. Not in a different location altogether.
I would like a control-Z command, like most other text fields in the game, to act as undo. If not, then I would like a 'cancel changes' button, so if the text editor destroys my desription again for the umpteenth time, I have an option to not destroy my description other than closing out of City of Heroes.
When I hit enter between two spaces, or hit shift-right arrow between two spaces, I would like them to remain spaces and not turn into ampersand-codes.
When I select text in the description field, then hit backspace, I would like only the selected text to be deleted, not all text before the selection and the selection itself.
I would like carriage returns in the description field to play nice with the clipboard. I would also like the same number of carriage returns to appear in the editor as in game.
Other text fields added in issues since work like normal. Could this one be fixed?
