Font Size While Typing an Email Appears Very Small, Not the Font Size Selected

When I am typing an email in Thunderbird, regardless if I have my font size preset to Extra Large, Large, or Medium, the font that appears in the email while I am typing the email, is very tiny, so tiny it is hard for me to read it. Yet when the email is received by the recipient, the font appears the correct size as selected in composition settings. How do I fix this?

Thunderbird has a rich variety of font settings. I believe they are documented in this link. The options you are referencing are not the best choice.
