Okay, forget about that one, works fine from any other machine, so 
nothing to worry about.

For anyone who wonders (or will ;-): The sourcecode "editor" is just a 
(admittedly oversized) textbox as can be regularly encountered on any 
website with forms. That said, there is a Firefox extension called 
"External Editor 0.4.2" that allows you to edit the content of any 
textbox with any editor that can be started via commandline (use 
UltraEdit, Med, Proton or Textpad). It's still ain't perfect because the 
browser freezes while you edit but at least you have a decent coloring 
and extensive search/replace functionality.
