I tried fiddling with this, and part of the problem seems to be in the
ui.sortable.js script on line 41:
if(!(/(relative|absolute|fixed)/).test(this.element.css('position')))
this.element.css('position', 'relative');
Basically, if the parent element isn't already using a non-static
positioning style, it is set for relative.
This seems to mess with the offset calculations of the dragged elements.
I'm not sure if the error is with the dimensions offset calculation or what.
I tried setting the parent box to absolute and got an even weirder result.
Setting the parent box to fixed resulted in an accurate calculation.
Can anyone else weigh in on this?

Come on, guys... this is worth a look.
IE6/7 still accounts for 45%+ of web users!
Is there a better place to report bugs?
