Paul is probably right, I've seen this sort of weirdness occur due to a
custom Master Page design in place.

If you compare the HTML markup emitted by a regular SharePoint page, to the
HTML markup emitted when the web part toolbox appears to the right of the
page in edit mode, you may notice some extra table tags in place.

SharePoint positions the toolbox to the right in a table cell by wrapping
most of the page content to the left in a table cell too, both of the table
cells sit in the same table row within a new table.

So check your master page for any errant HTML table tags that will be
screwing up the nesting of tables for the entire page and therefor screwing
up the entire page's rendering (not an easy thing to resolve)

Sezai.
