Hi there, You are mixing a VerticalPanel (older panel type, uses <table>s for layout) and the TabLayoutPanel, which is newer (GWT2.0) and relies on <div>s and CSS for layout.
In general, you shouldn't mix the two types of Panels. > but the result is awful, even when I tried some styling - I can't make > the tabbed layout "fit" into the vertical panel.

Using the *LayoutPanels requires: 1. standards mode <!DOCTYPE> in the host html page. 2. attaching the panel to the RootLayoutPanel rather than RootPanel. The fact that the tabs stack on top of each other probably means that you are not using Standards mode correctly[1]. The *LayoutPanels were introduced in GWT 2.0. They use <div>s instead of <table>s to create layout. Refer to the UI docs[2] for more details.

I re-read the DevGuideUiPanels several times before I figured out the gotchas above (I'm a bit dense).
