I'm betting that you have made the layer's CONTENTS editable, not the actual
div tag. Take a look at the code and see if the layer's <div> is inside or
outside of the editable region. If you were using your embedded or linked
stylesheets then you would have no trouble making this change.

Don't give absolutely positioned elements like layers a height at all.
Otherwise when someone resizes their text to be larger, it will spill over
the bottom boundary of the sized layer and make a mess (it will make a mess
anyhow - putting text into absolutely positioned elements is a very bad
idea).
