Current element values missing from vertical tabs when shown in 2-column layout

Issue Summary

Problem/Motivation

One of the most awesome benefits of adding vertical tabs in Drupal 7 was the javascript that allowed people to see what the current values were without having to pop-open the fieldsets. This benefit has been lost by moving the tabs to the right hand column.

I did a little research into the development of this new display of vertical tabs, and it looks like the current values are supposed to be present - at least according to the screenshots shown in this issue - the one that got committed.

Only local images are allowed.

Perhaps they were forgotten, or removed later for some other reason?

Proposed resolution

Put back the awesomeness that was vertical tabs - javascript revealing current values from within fieldsets.

Not sure why that doesn't work. Here's the link to the image:
