  When trying to write a post, I regularly have the problem that the editing window suddenly splits in two. The content becomes visible in both – but when I try to select an editing icon, the icon display disappears. The screen returns to normal if I click on ‘save draft’, or on ‘update’ if already published – but the problem invariably returns a few minutes later. Trying to get anything written is taking me many times longer than it should.
  What bothers me, is that this problem is not just on a single blog, but occurs also on several sites I manage – some are my own, and one is a third party, at a completely separate host..
  It’s leaving me seriously dissatisfied with the entire wordpress platform.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
