"Unfortunately it's a bit of a bug due to the algorithm in Expose that has to do with the height and placement of windows. If all the windows on screen are the same size and at the same relative position (eg. not cascaded, all on top of each other, or at the same y position on the screen) they will arrange themselves side by side. The workaround is to try and make sure your windows have slightly differing relative positions (in terms of y position on the screen) or ensure you have another window visible that has a slightly different size.

I can confirm that Expose in Snow Leopard fixes this ""bug"" has been there since 10.3 when Expose was first introduced."
