Q&A: How can I get the “Compose New Email” box back to the center of the window in Gmail?

Posted on August 22, 2018

Question from Claire: I use Gmail and when I click “Compose” button to write a new email the text box has always been centered in the Gmail window.

But this morning when I opened Gmail and clicked “Compose” the box opened in the lower right corner of the window.
