This happens to me a lot. I do not know if it is problem with Facebook or with my (Android) phone interface. It only really seems to happen with Facebook though.

When I post a comment and then go back to edit it because I've spotted a typo, the edit window is too small to hold my comment, and I can fnd no way of scrolling up.

See here: my comment is posted in the top half, and I see I've misspelled "belling".
The bottom secton is where I get to edit but it's only showing the last four lines of my comment.

I know of no way to get the edit window to scroll to the top of my comment. I have tried and failed many times.

Yeah I've seen that too. Have you tried the hold down the space while moving your finger back and forth and up and down. On iPhones that sometimes gets you a kind of cursor scrolling feature.

The other solution is to write the text in another app like a notepad and then copy and paste.
