Enfold layout problems

I’m trying to rough-in a new web site, but am finding it impossible to build the layouts i want. I’ve searched the support threads on these topics and what i’m trying to do appears to be possible, but Enfold is inexplicably fighting back with layouts of its own. Enfold is up to date, WordPress is up to date. This early version of the site is running locally on MAMP. I’d appreciate any insight in to how I might lay this out and get it to ‘stick’.

Tabs not full width
When i first created this page and placed tabs, the tabs filled the whole width of the page. After one of my page updates, the tabs have narrowed themselves. I’ve tried placing them inside and outside of full-width elements, but they no longer stretch. I created a new page and the tabs worked full width as expected. After some small updates to the page, the tabs have narrowed themselves again.

Content is nesting itself
On a page with several sections of text, all content after the first section is automatically nesting itself in to previous sections.

This is how it is laid out:

After building a page i hit ‘update’. The updated page publishes correctly, but the layout scrambles. ‘Updating’ after this will publish the scrambled layout. The page must be re-loaded from a saved revision. I click ‘update’, and the layout will scramble again.

After Update, sections nest themselves in to previous sections:

Do you know what might be causing these layout inconsistencies? I can’t continue using it with this behavior. Thank you.
