I tried to reproduce this on my end using FireFox and Chrome browser and what I observed is re-sizing the window distorts the visual editor toolbar placement, which was making Indent/Outdent and other buttons hide behind the search box sometimes.

But "Edit/beta" button was working fine in my browser.
