Can you make sure the shortcode is returning its content, not echoing? This common mistake can produce results like you're seeing if the_content is applied to a post before the loop

Basically what happens is when there is a fresh search on the site and the post that is returned for the search results has an image gallery (that we set up as shortcode using wp media library) the photo gallery is injected into the dom before the opening html tag and this is done using javascript.  As you can imagine this completely mangles the layout of the site.  Does anyone have any ideas on the issue or somehow that I can start debugging it?  I have listed step by step what happens below.
