Hi melissatrippel,
I had the same-ish problem as you have regardinhg the 'choose a gallery page'.
A tall string of text, with the 'choose a gallery' divs pushed right to the bottom of the page. (They were there, but I had to scroll down a fair way). Don't know if it is the same for you, but I had to change a style attribute in the admin/css/admin.css stylesheet, '#text-with-button' div 'overflow' from hidden to visible:
/* full width bands
--------------------------------------------------*/
.text-with-button {
overflow: hidden;
padding-right: 20px;
}
to:
/* full width bands
--------------------------------------------------*/
.text-with-button {
overflow: visible;
padding-right: 20px;
}
May not be the same with yours, but I had to make that change.
