How should I use Bootstrap 3 tokenfield with autocomplete and typeahead?

Question

I have tried to reproduce the Using Twitter Typeahead example from http://sliptree.github.io/bootstrap-tokenfield/. I have made only a minimal modifications on the original code.

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="tokenfield-typeahead" value="red,green,blue" />

<script>
var engine = new Bloodhound({

  datumTokenizer: function(d) {
    return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(d.value);
  },
  queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace
});

engine.initialize();

$('#tokenfield-typeahead').tokenfield({
  typeahead: [null, { source: engine.ttAdapter() }]
});
</script>

</body>

My problem is that the styling of auto completion and type ahead is missing. (I have a version with bower packages but it results the same.)

I have considered the

Twitter Typeahead comes with no default styling. Make sure to include tokenfield-typeahead.css on your page.

sentence in the documentation but the mentioned css file has included.

What should I correct for proper auto completion and type ahead styling?

The exact problem was with the included typeahead.js version. It works with 0.10.1, but not with 0.11.1. Downgrading to 0.10.1 fixes the problem.
