How do I get bootstrap tabs-left to work in bootstrap 3.3.x

Question

I noticed that nav-tabs left doesn't work in Bootstrap 3.3.0,3.3.2 and was wandering if anyone knew how to re-enable the style. Tabs should run up and down, with content chosen on the right.

Working bootstrap2.3.2 BIN:

Here's the not working 3.3.0 link:

Relevant code (directly from http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/components.html#navs )

          <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
            <li class="active"><a href="#lA" data-toggle="tab">Section 1</a></li>
            <li class=""><a href="#lB" data-toggle="tab">Section 2</a></li>
            <li class=""><a href="#lC" data-toggle="tab">Section 3</a></li>
          </ul>

          <div class="tab-content">
            <div class="tab-pane active" id="lA">
              <p>I'm in Section A.</p>
            </div>
            <div class="tab-pane" id="lB">
              <p>Howdy, I'm in Section B.</p>
            </div>
            <div class="tab-pane" id="lC">
              <p>What up girl, this is Section C.</p>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>

...

<script language=javascript>
$('#myTab a').click(function (e) {
    if($(this).parent('li').hasClass('active')){
        $( $(this).attr('href') ).hide();
    }
    else {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).tab('show');
    }
});
</script>

This article provides a full answer with code and demo down the page a ways: http://tutsme-webdesign.info/bootstrap-3-toggable-tabs-and-pills/

The simple answer is you need to add .nav-stacked to the <ul> and then use the normal row/column system to lay it out. BS3 doesn't natively support floating the tabs around on its own like BS2 did.

Note that for jsbin preview you need to use xs columns or it will stack everything in 1 column responsively.

The default styling doesn't work very well for tabs, but works ok for pills.
