I figured it out for my configuration. This is not an issue with Contact Form 7 but is most likely an issue with your theme or a plug-in. You just need to find out which of those is causing the problem and correct it.
If you’re interested here is the process.

1. Switch to a default theme like “Twenty Eleven”
2. Disable all of your plug-ins except for “Contact Form 7”
3. View your form page to verify that formatting is now working properly
4. reactivate your theme
5. View your form page to determine if CF7 is still formatting properly
6. If not, the issue is with a formatting script in your theme, if it is formatting correctly go to the next step
7. Reactivate plug-ins one at a time, checking formatting after each activation until you find the plug-in causing issues

For me it was a plug-in called Lizatom Shortcodes, which is a plug-in that offers more shortcodes and formatting options. Fortunately this plug-in has an option to disable custom formatting and as soon as I clicked that option CF7 formatting worked correctly again.

I hope this helps you. I’ve been banging my head on my desk for 10 hours now trying to figure this out.
Good luck!

Putting items in the same line does not work with Drop Downs.
Is there a way to get drop down menu’s to show up on the same line as other input fields or general text? As ITSNev mentioned CF7 seems to be wrapping drop downs in <span then forcing <br just before the select class, right after the span class is defined, then forcing </p after the span.
Example:

My text
<span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap Date1"><br>
<select aria-required="true" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select wpcf7-validates-as-required" name="Date1">
<option value="Option">My Options</option>
</select>
</span>
</p>

@itsnev, you seem to have figured this out. Are you adding CSS inline on the page, editing the theme CSS or modifying CF7’s CSS directly?

I just prefer to add my own <p and <br tags while creating the form in the CF7 form editor interface.

Any help is much appreciated.
