WikiEditor not enabled:
* Windows XP SP 3 with IE 6

No problems if window is tall enough to fit the entire textarea at initial
scroll position:
* Windows XP SP3 with IE 7
* Windows XP SP3 with IE 8
* Windows 7 with IE 8
* Windows 7 with IE 9

If window not tall enough: first click scrolls down, second click inserts
'''Bold''' at an unexpected position:
* Windows XP SP3 with IE 7
* Windows XP SP3 with IE 8
* Windows 7 with IE 8

If window not tall enough: first click does cause scroll, but sets the
focus and cursor where we expect it; second click inserts '''Bold''' at
caret position at start of page:
* Windows 7 with IE 9

Looks like WikiEditor on 1.17 had about the same behavior (though
significantly worse, as the 'window tall enough' cases still didn't work
consistently).

The worst case seems to come if your window just isn't big enough to fit
the textarea at all -- then even when focused in there things break.
