I suspect this should really be a bug report, but haven't found a place for submitting brainstorm bug reports. As a result I'm making a suggestion for improvement instead.
Don't know all the platforms on which this is an issue, but it is an issue on Firefox 2.0.0.14 under Microsoft Windows XP.
When the Firefox window is sufficiently wide, all the text wraps at the right hand edge as expected. As the window width is reduced, the text dynamically re-wraps, also as expected. Unfortunately, this is the case only up (down?) to a point.
That point seems to be when the window width gets down to about 920-930 pixels on a 1280x1024 screen. For window widths less than that, the text 'disappears' off the edge.
It's not only text that fails to dynamically adjust. The box, in which comments are written, starts to disappear off the edge when the window width gets down to about 875 pixels.
I believe the html in brainstorm should ensure pages render correctly down to window widths of 640 pixels, possibly less.
If there are features on the pages that make rendering in 640 pixel wide windows impractical, then a compromise could be to ensure correct rendering in 800 pixel wide windows.
If even that's not practical then, I suggest, the whole brainstorm html design needs to be re-visited.
For those who may want to, don't bother suggesting; "Just make the window wider or full screen.". That option is not acceptable and not considered viable.
