jQuery UI 1.9+ changed the way tabs are hidden, you should set your own classes when activating tabs this way:

$('#tabs').tabs({
  beforeActivate: function (event, ui) {
    $(ui.oldPanel).addClass('ui-tabs-hide');
    $(ui.newPanel).removeClass('ui-tabs-hide');
  }
});

combined with the following CSS:

.ui-tabs-hide { 
  display: block !important; 
  height: 0!important; 
  width: 0!important; 
  border:none!important; 
}

This will also fix any Flash embedded object not loading properly in hidden tabs.
