Not sure why this is happening, but my navigation is on the top of my page (see screen shot).

Firefox 3.6.3 and Safari 4.0.5 for my browsers. I haven't made one piece of content yet.

In these specific screen shots I am using the admin modules 2.x beta -- though the same behavior happens when that module is deactivated.

When there's content in both columns, the left column displays as it should and the right column maintains the strange behavior.

I've not had the opportunity to take a peek with firebug yet, though I plan to by the end of the day.

Me too, what'd you do to fix it? Tried to get around this issue by switching to a fluid layout in Site building > Themes > Configure. That only works if my browser window is big, if it is small the blank left side bar reappears (see attachment

I never got around to using firebug on it; thanks for the work around though - I'll be testing it tomorrow and posting here if it doesn't work for me.

Hmm, one clue is that it looks fine as a authenticated user but not as a anonymous user.

Well, I just tried to recreate this with a fresh install of Drupal and a download of this theme, and failed... so I don't know what the problem was, but it seems to have been solved...

I will not mark this as fixed since you are also having the issue too, but I would if it were just me...

Hmm... That's odd - using my custom logo caused it to happen just now... which leads to a possible solution... I will work on this more tomorrow.

Made one small tweak seemed to fix it in my case anyway...

line 66 of style.css is now:

.name-logo #logo {
  margin: 0 0 0 0.5em;
  display: block;
}

The default has the lower margin of this at 1em, and that was the problem for me anyway...

This is entirely dependent on the logo though, so I don't know if its the same thing or not as above; however this is an issue nonetheless.

Looking at the screen shots I initially posted... all I would do is add a float:clear to the left side bar - that should fix it up (also make sure there is not something like that on the main content area)...

Got the same problem, with a larger than expected logo (100x100).

The attached image shows the area that causes the problem (I put yellow in the logo area and the left sidebar bumps in it.)

The fix proposed in #7 works. (i.e. add clear: both; in left sidebar in css/layout.css)

I'm proposing a patch.

Thank you.
Alexis

P.S. There is also a way to change the height of the header dynamically. Setting it to a size larger than 100px would also solve the problem without having to apply the patch.

Just wanted to report back that the above patch worked when I started to rebuild the same site. Marking it as RTBC since this issue hasn't gotten much attention from the developer.

Thanks for the patch! I committed a modified version of this it (just consolidated all the floating).

It will be in the next release.
