I know this has come up before, but I can’t seem to find it. Somehow or another I managed to get the TinyMCE configuration messed up so that the menu bar is on the bottom of the content field. I’ve even upgraded the site, and upgraded the TinyMCE version to no avail.
I think one of the configs has it anchored there. You might try changing that...
