The main issue is more about the WYSIWYG editor rather than the underlying representation; markdown won't solve anything as it's just a different method of representing the same data we use in bbcode (and it wouldn't be easily doable either since we use a lot of custom codes for things like mentions).
It's on my list to update our WYSIWYG editor at some point but it's fairly low priority.
For quotes, you can; select the block type under the block selector (it starts off as "Paragraph").
For text selection, that's a browser thing, we don't control that directly. On my end on Chrome, the editor doesn't warp back up if I leave the box.
For the toolbar thing, that's probably a mis-class on our side; is this on resources?
The newly made post thing is a bug.

The editor (which is used for wall posts, content description, etc) sucks!
Here are only a few of the bugs:
Whatever you do you can't make a quote without editing the source instead.
It also uses BBCode, which I just don't get why markdown is not used. Markdown is wayy better than BBCode. In fact, using MarkDown instead of BBCode fixes most of these bugs!
I get it, I get that changing BBCode to MarkDown is definitely not easy, and it is a huge change. But if it's possible, then please fix these bugs.
Thank you.
