Issue Summary
The submit/edit pages do not display right for me.
I get the authoring information, options, and user comments form elements at the top of the page, then there's a large gap extending until the end of the blocks (I'm only using blocks on the left side and haven't tested the behaviour if there are blocks on either side), followed by the remaining form elements, title and the like.

Same problem here....

Me too.
Have searched for 'clear:' elements in CSS and experimented with commenting them out - but no success.

I should have mentioned that I've done lots of edits to the CSS and got it working perfectly in Firefox (sorry - had to experiment with pretty much everything so have kind of lost track of which changes worked, as it went on into the early hours! But i'm happy to provide my edited stylesheets, though they have also been heavily edited to create my new site theme, based on democratica)
This problem is now only in IE. It affects any pages where the user has to provide input - profile edit page, node edit page, create content page etc.
I've experimented with everything but just can't get it fixed!

Same here, I can make it work in Firefox but not IE.

I would like to see your style sheets if thats ok. I love the Democratica theme but this white space issue is annoying. I have tried all the different fixes but it either has a HUGE gap, or everything is jumbled on top...

I have been dealing with this same problem today (though it only appears in Safari and MSIE Mac). From my poking around, it appears that the content in the center column div that is "cleared" is pushed down so that it renders even with the bottom of the menu DIV.
In the case of the profile editing page, if I comment out the "clear" in drupal.css, the page renders fine:
.profile {
/* clear: both; */
margin: 1em 0 1em 0;
}
On the other hand, on a node creation/editing page, doing this causes the text entry form (beginning with "Title") to follow right after the "User Comments" box. The selector in drupal.css is ".node-form .standard". Here are three screenshots showing what I'm seeing:
Somehow, I think we need to be able to "detach" the form in the center column from the menu div in the left column.
I'm going to keep digging, but maybe a CSS whiz can spot the problem right away.
Thanks!

Same problem is happening to me, but slightly different. After adding the "custom user profile" snippet from the snippets page, the profiles began functioning correctly. However, submission/edit pages still drop to the bottom. In one version of IE (not sure which) the content is the only thing that drops to the bottom, and it lines up with the left-hand nav bar.
In another version, 6.0something, IE has the content in the center begin displaying where the left nav-bar stops, and the right nav-bar starts where the middle content stops. So it's tiered, and the right menu is WAY at the bottom.
I tried what other people said about getting rid of "clear:both" but I didn't even see that line in the css, so I couldn't change it.
In Firefox/everything else, it seems to render just fine.
