We are using the Acquia Marina theme on our site (http://www.hcpl.net). We are having some problems with it just on some pages our consultant made for us using CCK--the issue is isolated just to the pages for each of our locations (we are a library system).
Basically the problem seems to be that the items in the content region are stretching across (and on top off) the items in the sidebar - or at least their container elements are. The text content of the blog posts wraps properly and doesn't cover the sidebar, but all of the containing elements do. You can see this in the screen capture attached. We found this out by turning on Firebug and activating the inspector tool to allow us to see all the properties for the various elements. When you try to hover over the items in the right sidebar, it actually selects the items from the content region (see the blue box below for an example). We tried to click other items in the sidebar that should be clickable like the photos, branch events, etc. The only things that are clickable are the very first item in the event list (which is above the top of the branch info section) and the items that are part of a Flash object (like the video and virtual tour objects). In addition to Firefox we also tried to access the page via Google Chrome, Apple Safari and MS IE. The only browser that worked was IE--the other 3 browsers are all based on the same Webkit browsing engine, so that's not a surprise.
We need some help fixing this issue so our Firefox users won't have trouble using these pages--they are some of the most used on our site as you can imagine. We are using Drupal 6.

i'm experiencing the same
i'm experiencing the same issues with some of my modules. where i can't comment specifically on cck, i can give you an idea on how i approach it when it does happen...
i've discovered that it's usually 3 possible things. sometimes changing one of these factors fixes it and in other cases, you'll have to experiment with all three.
if the mod you're dealing with has a css associated with it, you may have to edit the css to suit marina.
Widths: first i determined which possible classes needed to be edited by looking at my source. i then opened the css and searched for any width declarations. i removed/limited the width for certain classes. meaning, remove width: 100%, clear your cache and view or change it to width: 65%, clear your cache and view.
Floats: sometimes things floated to the right. sidebar_last floats to the right. so i'd change it to left or removed the float entirely. sometimes there was a clear : both; i removed this entirely as if it cleared too soon, it messed up the display.
Layout: if the mod has a layout, this is when it gets tricky. i haven't figured out what you should attempt to edit first, the css or the layout BUT...
i recently posted within this group about integrating the advanced forum with the marina theme. what i discovered was that SOME of the advanced forum layout files had to be "wrapped within the < div id= " content " > tag. why? because this tag is used in the marina layout. to be consistent, you may have to add it to certain mods. once you add it, it may not immediately resolve the issue. at that point, you may have to go into the mod's css and look for width declarations and floats.
so i know this didnt answer your question but hopefully it gives you an idea of how to approach it.
