Why does the HTML editor add a div, class and id? And how can I stop it from doing this?

As a result it is making the process of converting my theme very difficult. I can't use the content editor as it is off screen somewhere and I am not at all keen on the live edit box feature over the pop up edit window previous version of concrete 5 (like the html editor currently is). For example this extra code (<div id="HTMLBlock35" class="HTMLBlock">) ends up killing my nav as it is inserting an extra div between the area I want to freely edit and the necessary div containing a lot of the styling.

Is there an option to use a default text editor for content? Using the text editor in html mode seems to insert the code correctly but is currently unusable for me due to the content being off screen on page load

Basically you guessed it, the content block can handle simple html, the html block is for any html tags, it won't get stripped like the content block does.

If the editing windows are showing off screen, try zooming out until you see it.

Bad theme code can cause popups to show up off screen. Had to tackle that one before myself.
