Tabs should remain horizontal on desktop beyond a certain width

There is logic in /core/themes/seven/js/nav-tabs.js that if the height of a set of tabs is taller the first set of tabs, (primary tabs), to switch to a vertical or mobile view. This is great on mobile and tablet, but doesn't work well on large desktop, as you end up with very long full-width vertical tabs that push everything way below the fold. For example if you have many display modes, it pushes everything below the fold:

In my case, when the secondary tabs are set to verity on a macbook retina on /admin/structure/types/manage/article/display, the ul.tabs.secondary these secondary tabs are 1375 pixels in height! (Labels changed to preserve anonymity).

I don't believe any special is required to recreate this. Just create a bunch of view modes.

Proposed Solution:

Update the logic to exclude the vertical tabs after a certain width.
