The width of the textarea after pressing reply is too large. 
The problem is that the algorithm that searches for the longes line
looks for the next '\r' which it does not find and therefore takes the
number of characters in the text to be the width of the longest line.
To search for '\n' instead should solve the problem.  Please find the 
diff output below.
