I got a problem with sommething very strange. I got a vertical menu which has css floating with left value and after that i got a form. The first line of the form jump to the right of the menu. But the rest of the form stay after as you can see on the picture. I don't know why i got this and i tried to fix it without success.

I use bootstrap on my page.

Here is the picture:

Problem:

Check How floating works. You will also be needed to set float: left to the sibling element to occupy the same row.

Solution:

You are using a CSS framework. So instead of using custom CSS, try to use the inbuilt code.

Wrap the menu with col-xs-3 and the form with col-xs-9

.li_settings {
  height: 100px;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <title>Bootstrap Example</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<body>
  <div class="container">
    <div class="page-header">
      <h1>My Page</h1>
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3 menu_settings">
      <ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
        <li class="active "><a href="#" class="li_settings">Home</a>
        </li>
        <li class=""><a href="#" class="li_settings">Item 1</a>
        </li>
        <li class=""><a href="#" class="li_settings">Item 2</a>
        </li>
        <li class=""><a href="#" class="li_settings">Item 3</a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="col-xs-9 content_settings">
