I checked my WP files and folders against the original WP-download: nothing’s missing.
That might be, however, it often happens that during a move the upload process alters some files. I’d check for corrupted files (e.g. checking the file sizes) but ultimately I’d try to upload a fresh copy of the wp-admin folder.
Thank you for the suggestion, Moshu. 🙂
Tomorrow when I get access to FTP again, I will compare the file sizes, and unless I find one that stands out as wrong, I will just replace my entire wp-admin folder with the original. I’ll let you know how it worked out. 🙂
Thanks,

Problem solved! Everything works like a charm; thank you Moshu! 🙂
I replaced the faulty admin folder with an original as you suggested. As a result, the editor interface is back, and so is the “write new post” interface.
Thanks again! 🙂
I mark this one as ‘resolved’, but I gonna stick around and help others if I can.
Out of the blue this is happening to me.
I uploaded the wordpress on Sunday and even posted a few posts right up till Monday and everything was fine and normal.
But today I tried to post something new and there was no post editing options between the post title and the post itself. The Visual and Code tabs just disappeared.
How do I solve this?
Will replacing the entire wp-admin folder have any nasty side effects?
First, I’d make sure that VRE isn’t turned off.
Users -> Your Profile. Make sure that top box is checked.
Yes, the “Use the visual editor when writing” box is checked.
Still the problem persists.
What has changed since it last worked?
What browser are you using? Is javascript still enabled?
Any new or changed firewalls or “protection” suites installed on your computer?
Regarding:

Nope, none at all.
If you’re going that route, re-upload wp-includes/js
as well.
What has changed since it last worked? Change the WP theme, added Viper’s video plugin
What browser are you using? IE
Is javascript still enabled? Should be as I never disabled it
Any new or changed firewalls or “protection” suites installed on your computer? None added or changed
The strange thing is I managed to make the editor show up by closing all browsing windows and running CCleaner. BUT, the moment I open another window besides the one with the WP admin page, it’s gone again.
I’ve tried going through the same process twice and it happens each time. Appear after (closing windows + run ccleaner) and disappears after opening additional windows, IE or FF.
No luck.
I just ftp-ed wp-includes/js and wp-admin using Filezilla, and when I went to WRITE, the editing buttons are still missing!
