I know I can set it to hidden or whatever but the tags visible to admin only in the form still keep their spacing. So..there's large gaps in the form.
Like I said..I know I can fix it with CSS, but just wondering if this was meant to be the case or if it is a glitch.
Using current stable version, not beta
Can you link to an example form that we can take a look at?
Check your theme stylesheet and see if there is some sort of blanket declaration being applied to all inputs. It could be setting input to display: block or it could be setting display: block on a parent container and it's inheriting. On most themes and by default the CSS is setup so if the field is hidden so it doesn't take up space, however we have no control over how themes style elements and if the theme is styling an element in such a way that it is inherited... spacing issues can occur.

That be the css.
When removing the display:block elements there is no change.
It's tough to debug the issue without having the full HTML and all linked resources to inspect. If you can put an example on a live site that we can access via a browser we can take a look and determine the problem.
the php:
<div class="post">
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" >
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="entry">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
</div>
<p><?php the_content(); ?> </p>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>You are providing pieces but we need to view the entire page, including HTML and all resources (Javascript, etc.) so that we can debug the issue using FireBug or similar tools in a web browser.
Howdy. Just so you are aware the issue occurs when a form is not put in a page using short codes via the editor. If I were to copy and past one short code to another page, I get the seperation, but if I insert it via the button it aligns well.
A very odd thing, yes?
