I sent out a tweet for help and then remembered, "Google!" So Googled and read a few forums before stumbling upon this page with TechPavan referencing a blog post with the solution of installing the FCKEditor plugin for Wordpress.
After I upgraded my wordpress to version 2.5, I fell off with one more problem. The rich text editor did not appear and I did not want to write each post as html code.It would be a tough matter to write all the posts as html and publish. Googled for about an hour and I got to know many are facing similar problems. So I am sharing the solution to help all others with same problem.
The solution I found was that of using a wordpress plugin of FCKEditor which replaces the default editor by its own editor which is more powerful than the default one.
Download, install and activate the latest FCKEditor plugin for wordpress. This will install the powerful rich text editor on your wordpress and you can access the same on your write section.

Was having exactly the same issue when I read your post. Thank you.
Well, the FCKEditor isn't perfect and works better if you go into the options and set it in Basic mode (less intrusive and the screen doesn't jump when you press ENTER).
That said, what a pain! I wonder when they'll release an update to WP 2.8 to fix the issue.
Glad it was helpful AND that you were reading,

I was planing to update to Wordpress 2.8, but recently few of my clients reported lots of problems like
Internal server Error
Broken Permalinks and broken theme issue..
So for now
I will wait for some more reviews and issues before I will upgrade my blog to wordpress 2.8
First time trying to set up a Wordpress Blog from scratch, on my own, and desperately needed a better text editor than the one supplied. This worked a treat - thanks for your help.

Thanks so much for taking the time to add this to your blog. If not for this aggravation w/ wp 8, I wouldn't have known about the plug-in, which is something I've always wanted, but didn't realize it. BTW, its also a great marketing tactic.

Had same problem, thanks for the fix!
I wouldn't upgrade to 2.8.. So far the Visual Editor bug has been VERY irritating.
Thank you so much for this suggestion - was tearing my hair out and not being a very techie person all the other suggestions in the forums were confusing for me. This fixes the problem and gives more formatting control.
You are a star!

Glad this post was helpful! Surprisingly, after doing an import of blog entries from another Wordpress blog, the Visual editor started working again.
