Email Opens a Read Only Window

When using Gmail on my MacPro and I open an email it automatically opens in a separate "read only" window. It doesn't allow me to reply or access other functions. How do I go back to reading mode and reply/forward etc.... There must an extension or preference setting that was changed.
