Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Since 31/07/10 have not been able to use the "Compose" or "Reply" sections of gmail with FF 3.6.7, which was installed using kubuntu Synaptic, so I'm "guessing" the download is from the Ubuntu repository.

The Text Body section of gmail remains blank, with only the wavy red lines indicating spelling errors showing on the screen; it will not accept text from the keyboard in either Reply or Compose modes. Reloading, restarting FF or gmail does NOT work. If I want to send gmail now, I have to use another browser. This does not seem to affect other aspects of Google ... only GM.

Ubuntu 9.04

From the reporting:

 - - - I haven't a CLUE what this means . . . I'm not about to ferreting about for a whole bunch of info; this programme sought out info about my system, etc, on start-up - why wasn't it transferred to this? I'm a USER, I'm not a geek ... don't expect me to do geeky things beyond synaptic installations, etc. That's what you guys are for.

Addendum: Cannot use Rich Formatting; though Plain Text works. It's a
compromise, but I'd prefer to have the rich text available.
