On the first problem you've mentioned - the editor on the screenshot is in "minimized" state. The expected behavior is for editor to get into that state when you click the minimize button in the top-right corner of the editor.
What happens if you restore the editor by clicking the button above the crossed-out button on your screenshot? Does the editor revert to the minimized state eventually? Note that you may also restore default window layout by selecting "Window" -> "Reset Perspective..." from the main menu.
