The Connect 2 form sidebars have a couple of problems, one serious:
1) the fonts available in the sidebar do not match the fonts available in the form proper, leading to inconsistent appearance;
2) the tools panel plays hide-and-seek. To see this effect, create some text that is longer than the browser window is high - then attempt to click-and-drag select it and modify it. First, you can only click-and-drag from the BOTTOM of the text and expect the window to auto-scroll upwards - dragging downwards stops at the bottom of the current window. But then the tools panel will not pop up and stay - it will appear at the top of the window (only partially) and disappear when you move the mouse towards it. You have to save the form to reset the tool panel behavior, and only do click-drag on a selection wholly within the window. And even then, the changes don't reliably stay.
