New gallery problems

So I made my first new gallery in the new SM. Two annoying things jumped right out at me.

1) The Description box is minute - why? My gallery descriptions are often several sentences long sometimes with hyperlinks in. It's impossible to write all this in that little box. So unless I am missing something I will now have to write my descriptions in a different text editor then cut and paste it into the small box. Not very user friendly!

2) Most of my galleries show the photos in the order they were taken with a few minor changes. In the old SM this was easy I would upload, sort by ascending file name then make any minor changed with drag to sort. Now I can sort by file name but if I then go and drag even one photo to a new position the whole galley reverts to manual meaning they are all mixed up & random again. Sorry but this is a real pain. Is there a way around this?

    The description box can be stretched by grabbing the cross-hatched corner and dragging. Unfortunately I found this worked only on Firefox, not on IE and Chrome. I've filed a bug report about this here.
