I've added to an ticket like this on a Vertical Tabs issue http://drupal.org/node/601260.
the response I got there

If a module changes the way the taxonomy forms work, then it needs to provide its own summary JavaScript file.

Seemed I am being directed away from that project and since disabling the TSS module brings the selected terms back to the vertical tab display, it seems like this is my next place to inquire about this issue.

I'm marking as 'minor' since, so far, it doesn't seem to affect the storing of the terms selected. The issue is just that when used alongside VT the list of selected terms is not being displayed in the Vocabulary vertical tab.

My idea for why this is happening is the following;
TSS is using a variable or string that VT does not recognize and there for is displaying the text "no terms".

Any help would be great.
thanks

So I think this is where the text 'No terms' is coming from if that helps point towards a solution. @ vertical_tabs/core/taxonomy.js

Drupal.verticalTabs.taxonomy = function() {
  var terms = {};
  var termCount = 0;
  $('fieldset.vertical-tabs-taxonomy').find('select, input.form-text').each(function() {
    if (this.value) {
      var vocabulary = $(this).siblings('label').html();
      terms[vocabulary] = terms[vocabulary] || [];
      if ($(this).is('input.form-text')) {
        terms[vocabulary].push(Drupal.checkPlain(this.value));
        termCount++;
      }
      else if ($(this).is('select')) {
        $(this).find('option[selected]').each(function() {
          var term = $(this).text().replace(/^\-+/, '');
          terms[vocabulary].push(Drupal.checkPlain(term));
          termCount++;
        });
      }
    }
  });

  if (termCount) {
    var output = '';
    $.each(terms, function(vocab, vocab_terms) {
      if (output) {
        output += '<br />';
      }
      output += vocab;
      output += vocab_terms.join(', ');
    });
    return output;
  }
  
  else {
    return Drupal.t('No terms');
  }
}

It's strange though since the nodes are still being associated correctly with the selected terms. You would think that that would be all that's needed.

still puzzled

Just to let you know that I was reading this issue, but currently not using the vertical tabs module nor have time to investigate.

Version 6.x-1.3 does not cause this problem.
Adding the noticeable code differences from 1.4 only since I'm experiencing the problem only with that version.

Correction, I don't know why I saw it fixed with version 1.3 but now it's not and may have never been. I have tried all past 6.x versions and have found the same results. Not sure why I haven't noticed this problem before.

Perhaps it is an issue with Vertical Tabs after all.

Okay so I think a js file needs to be added to this useful module in order for the selected terms to show up in the "tab" part of the vertical tabs layout.

ref. http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/vertical-tabs

I'm not very good at writing scripts but I'll see what I can come up with, if anything.

Would be great to see some vertical tabs support with this module, since both are used to improve UI

While it's totally correct that it would be great if there is compatibility between these two modules, I currently don't use Vertical Tabs and I don't have time to test/implement this feature.

I leave this issue as a feature request, too.
