A friend called me to tell he had a problem with his Send button disappearing while composing an email in his online Gmail account. After some experimentation I was able to recreate the problem. I did some Zooming In and Out (CTRL Mouse Wheel Up/Down) and then afterwards started typing in an address and changed my focus to the subject line. At that very moment of changing my focus from the address to subject line, the Send button disappeared.

Below in the image 2 the moment after I clicked the subject line, changing the focus from the recipient field to the subject line field.

Solution that worked for me.
When I resized the browser window, the Send button, the To: and From: fields were restored. I believe by resizing the browser window forced the contents to be redrawn, restoring the fields and Send button.
