vertical tabs dont get re-assigned to the correct region

Same problem for me, I'm tried to put all the fields that are in the vertical tabs in the footer region, but they remain in the main region instead (dispite the UI saying that they are in the footer).

Same problem. I can only assign one fieldgroup to the right column, the remainder always get rendered in the main column.

Same problem

I somehow fixed this.. tomorrow I will figure out what I did.

Great!
I've been busy with my other modules and haven't had time to look at this. So a patch would be very appreciated.

I don't think it's a coding issue, rather a template issue.

The problem described in this issue stopped when I deleted my second column on a two column template, to be more specific: I switched my panels layout since I only define my header and footer in page.tpl.php. After this, I styled my node forms using CSS (no theme overrides, not yet at least).

I hope this solution will work for you too, depending on your website template.

Kind regards,

I have this same issue, changed to a few themes with no luck.
The newest version of vertical tabs seems to be causing the issue.
No matter what I do, it stays in the 'main' section.

NOTE: tested with rc1 and dev of vertical tabs.
NOTE: 'vertical tabs' no longer appears as an option to move. I was trying to move the individual collapsible fields. obviously no luck.

I needed a quick fix, and it is working for now...
I had to hack... but here it is...

added a 'left' and moved 'main' under 'right':

function nodeformcols_form_regions() {
  return array(
    'left' => t('Left'),
    'right' => t('Right'),
    'main' => t('Main column'),
    'footer' => t('Footer'),
  );
}

edited the css:
added .form-region-left with the css that was part of .form-region-left,
changed the main to a clear:both

.node-form-has-region-right .form-region-left {
  float: left;
  width: 70%;
}
.node-form-has-region-right .form-region-main {
  clear: both;
}
