How do I stop Thunderbird front reducing font size when I'm typing?

When I'm typing a new email and/or replying to an email, the font size is often reduced greatly (Perhaps to a default size)automatically. This seems to occur if I changed where I was typing (going back to fix a word) and then return to were I had stopped typing to continue.

If, before I start to type where I left off, I purposely back the cursor to the left, thereby erasing some of the letters I had typed before to went to fix a word, the correct font size will be used when I start typing where I left off initially. I believe I have specified the correct, larger font size in all of the Options fields.

Thanks for your time and help.

I don't have a solution, only a workaround.

When you first go into the composer, press enter a few times and then move the cursor back to the beginning. You observation is exactly correct. You going "outside" the current font scope. Pressing enter makes that scope a couple of lines longer so it just does not happen the same.
