The formula editor sucks.  I can't even scroll with my mouse wheel.  Anybody know of a separate editor that I can work with my formulas in?  An IDE or a syntax file for Kate or a plugin for TextPad or something?

yeah, just like vb6 and code.
 
How big is the formula that you need to scroll that much?  I don't like that particular functionality, but it is not so detrimental...and is much better than report system that I also use where ctrl delete will delete the rest of the line and not the just the word...or double clicking selects the entire the line instead of what is between quotes.
 
you can use textpad or whatever your favorite editor is, but then you lose your report/table columns and parameters and function and formulas that are in the report along with syntax validation
 
so if your only gripe is that you can't scroll...
