   I tried the 1 col layout, did not like, switched back to 2 col -- or so it says. Actually, I am stuck at 1 col.
   Is there a *.php file I can edit to force this back?

   You mentioned you "switched back" to 2 column - either you're using a theme with admin options page
   OR
   you made changes in your theme's style.css AND page.php/index.php/single.php
   and/OR
   you did not clear your cookies or browser caches to see the changes.
   That is why I asked what specific theme you were having a hard time with.

   I'm having the same problem. I don't see why this would have anything to do with the theme. It's the edit screen where you compose posts. I was trying to make the input box bigger (deeper, from top to bottom). It is frustratingly shallow, and there seems to be no option to drag-resize it. I turned off most of the fields I didn't need and tried the 1 col option. That didn't help me out, so I switched back to 2 col. All that did was make an empty column on the right which did not get repopulated with all the fields that moved below the input box when I first switched to 1 col.

   I have the same problem here :( I even tried a new installation on my computer without any plugins that possibly could mess up the editor. i can't switch back. are these settings maybe saved in the mysql database and the switchbag to 2-columns button doesnt work?

   finally i found the answer in a german board.

   if you swith back to the 2-column layout you have to re-arrange your boxes. just simplay drag and drop the boxes into the empty column.

   somehow stupid and not userfriendly. i would suggest for the team to write a little note into the empty box like "drop your boxes here".

   Yes. It is a pain to drag them all the way up into the place holder box.

   Some instructions to that effect will be helpful.

   I will try to post a ticket for that - should learn how to! ;)
