  I don’t know – sorry. All I can suggest is trying another browser. http://browsehappy.com

  Is this new….
  Paste is now in plain text mode. Contents will now be pasted as plain text until you toggle this option off. If you’re looking to paste rich content from Microsoft Word, try turning this option off. The editor will clean up text pasted from Word automatically.

  There is a T above the place to write in…if I push it …I get the above and then I can paste…it does not stay on but has to be re pushed each time…is there a way to keep it on….I never had to do this before? Thanks

  A few months ago we changed the Paste as Text button and how it works, and it’s documented here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  There were some additional issues pasting into the editor earlier in the week, but that should be resolved.

  As far as the scrollbar goes, our developers are aware of our users’ concerns and are looking at ways to improve the experience. Please see the thread timethief linked for more information.
