Brian is right, but I noticed myself that there is something wonky going on with the editor on Lion - it is translating characters where it should not (e.g. \dots) - and I know only of the global configuration to disable it. I'll have a look if there is some message that could be send to the text view on Lion once I'm back (next week) because its highly annoying ?
