Ahhhh! I'm so glad to hear that there is a reason for this weird problem! Yay!
I wonder if I just stick a space in the hint field, if that will do the trick.

It looks like the problem starts with your "Abstract" field, as it doesn't have any hint/help text specified. So, under the "Abstract" field you have an empty tag: <span class="field-help"/> I think this tag is confusing IE7 (for whatever reason). If I place any text in there (e.g. <span class="field-help">test me</span>), then the problem is fixed until the next empty "hint" text occurs. I've also verified this same problem happens in out-of-the-box DSpace 1.5.2, if I remove any of the default <hint> text in the input_forms.xml I'm going to log a bug in DSpace Jira (our issue tracking system). It's likely there's a relatively easy fix, and we can let you know once we're able to resolve it. The quick fix (on your end) would be to make sure that each field has <hint> text specified in your input_forms.xml. Obviously, that's not ideal, so we'll look into a real fix to the issue.
