The database has nothing to do with the editor other than offer a store-wide default setting when you first open your browser and admin area.
If HTMLarea or any other editor is not "running" even though selected, it is because the javascript files for the editor are not being loaded properly, either due to permissions problems, files-not-found, browser cache problems, local PC firewall/ad-block settings, or browser settings having javascript disabled/blocked.
In the case of 1.3.5, things were moved around somewhat.
About 30 files in the admin were touched in order to expand the ability for other editors. If you have customizations to those files and haven't fully merged the changes, you may run into troubles.
If you set up a fresh 1.3.5 on your server in another folder, do you have the same problem?
If not, then one or more of the files on your server isn't up to date properly.
