You need to use \framebreak when moving to a column with a different width. This is because the change in \hsize doesn't come into effect until the end of the paragraph. (So it's a feature of TeX rather than a bug in flowfram.)

then it means that I should always insert a \framebreak command in the last of the firstpage. do we have any convenient method to do this ?

You'll need to use \framebreak whenever you have a paragraph that spans frames of unequal widths.

No. The best thing to do is put all your text in and then add \framebreak. Otherwise you might find you have to keep moving it whenever you edit the text.
