When I am writing an email in gmail, and I get to the edge of the writing area, as in this box (however the error doesn't occur with this box, only in gmail), what happens is that the text does not wrap around when it reaches the edge of the box.  Instead, the wraparound seems to occur about two and a half inches or so to the right of the edge, so I can't see what I'm typing for a few words, and then all of the sudden, I'm typing on the next line.  This is very frustrating, but I found out that if I go to the top of the gmail window, and click on "Older Version" of gmail, I do not encounter this problem.  I don't know if the issue is entirely with the new version of gmail or with the present version of firefox, but there seems to be a compatibility issue between the two.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into gmail.
2. Make sure you are on the newer version of gmail (which is the default version).
3. Begin to type a line of text and the text will wrap around not at the edge of the writing box, but a few centimeters to the right.
Actual Results:  
Due to this, you cannot read what you are writing for a significant portion of the message that exists off screen.

Expected Results:  
What should have happened instead is that the text should have wrapped around at the edge of the writing box like normal.  

I don't know if the bug is specific to my computer, but I use the hp 2133 mini-note.
