In-game textareas slow and unstable

I am a story focused gamer, and care a lot about the story of my toons and AE arcs. Writing text in the in-game text areas is however a pain, and I often need to open my arcs in Notepad++ for editing longer texts.
Here is a list of bugs I've encountered:

• Line breaks are removed when I paste text from external editors.
• Writing text is sometimes delayed for several seconds (as using a word processor on a really old computer)
• Long sections of the text do sometimes vanish.
• Moving the cursor by arrow keys is slow and unreliable, making fixing typos a pain. It's not uncommon to have text inserted on an unexpected insert point.

My story on union.virtueverse.com

I remember the text entry interface always being a bit crap. Maybe it's just my imagination, but it seems like it's been a lot more crap since I came back from my most recent hiatus. The whole thing it does where it doesn't seem to see what you've been typing until you move the cursor, and then what you just typed and didn't think it registered suddenly appears where you didn't want it, is new to me.

Heck, I managed to crash the game client altogether through the flagrant and provocative act of trying to edit a character's ID bio the other night. First time I've ever seen that happen.
