If the text in a field is very long, it doesn’t appear when I open the HTML editor; furthermore, my current position within the text is not preserved, forcing me to search for it all over again.  
If any proposals for improving the HTML editor are being considered, I would ask that you take into account the need for a better user experience when working with very long blocks of text. It would be very helpful to at least display the current line of text or the code for the current line.
