UPDATE: Another member of this group (Olivier Percebois-Garve) just found a NEW bug related to this one, so I thought I'd continue this discussion with his findings.
Please refer to one of my UI.SORTABLE demo pages for what was supposed to be the FIXED version of the bug discussed higher up on this page: http://74.205.76.81/sorttest/index4.php Unfortunately, it seems to exhibit a NEW bug, which Olivier discovered. To reproduce the bug (using IE only), just resize the browser window until a scrollbar appears. Then try dragging an element below the fold and back upwards. On the way up (and thereafter), you'll see a disconcerting distance between the mouse and the cloned element, very similar to what I reported earlier. You'll also notice that the greater the scroll length, the greater the distance between the mouse and the cloned element. Another show-stopper! Please help again, Jeffrey Kretz and Paul Bakaus!
