Assignment comments - Rich Text Editor?

I have significantly been slowed while trying to plow through the 300 assignments I need to grade today. The assignment comments have changed - now it looks comments are left in a Rich Text Editor. This means my submit button doesn't fit on the screen any more so I need to scroll down for each assignment to submit a comment. There appears to be a lot of wasted, blank space on the grading screen.

And each new line in my comments is now double spaced - do we really need that much space around comments? I like information for my students to be succinct and easy to view/read.

I assume this is to allow a few special features to appear in the comments. Not sure my students will benefit from those, considering how few take the time to read comments anyway. I'd be happy just leaving a bit of text feedback so students know why they missed points and how to make those up.

Let's keep things simple and quick.
