I had the same problem but made it a fixed element that on clicking the editor icon, becomes separate from the editor toolbar and places itself at suitable height from the bottom of the screen..
Works a treat for me.
Try it if you want. . .
Code:
/* Editor buttons fixed*/
.b-editor .cke_top {
padding-right: 32px;
position: fixed;
top: 390px;
z-index: 100;
}
I tried to extend it by putting the smilie and attachment buttons in there but couldn't figure that bit out. .
I use it in one style only specifically for the writing of longer text. .
