With jQuery 1.5 and jQuery ui 1.8.9 ?

If its With jQuery 1.5 and jQuery ui 1.8.9 it's a bug that breaks teh functionality of draggable. Don't know why but i had the same problem and found out this was the problem. It seems to destroy the object after draggin with the clone helper option. Best recommendation: Revert to previous Jquery version

The same happened to me right now. I was reading the documentation for $.get() and it has got some improvements in jQuery 1.5. So then I realised that there was a new version out. I downloaded jQuery 1.5 and I was using v1.4.4 before and v1.8.9 of jQuery UI. I also have the same scenario... I have a few connected lists of sortables and draggables. As soon I move a draggable from a sortable (connected) list to another it breaks.

My sortable() options are as follows:
$('.cms-block-container').addClass('cms-sortable');
$('.cms-sortable').sortable({
appendTo: 'body',
connectWith: '.cms-sortable',
revert: true,   
placeholder: 'sortable-placeholder', 
delay: 300,    
opacity: 0.75,
handle: '.cms-block-move-handle',
cancel: '.cms-drop-zone-placeholder', 
helper: function(event) {
  return $('<div class="sortable-helper">helper text here</div>');
 },
... and activate, deactivate etc.

My draggable() options are as follows:
$('.cms-draggable').draggable({
appendTo: 'body',
connectToSortable: '.cms-block-container',
helper: 'clone',
cursor: 'move',
opacity: 0.75,
cursorAt: { left: -3, top: -3},
helper: function(event) {
  return $('<div class="sortable-helper">helper text here</div>');
}
}).disableSelection();

Directly after the upgrade to v1.5 I got the same error as described above.

I downgraded to jQuery v1.4.4 and still using v1.8.9 of jQuery UI, and it works like a charm. The bad thing is that jQuery UI states that the stable version works with jQuery 1.3.2+ and it doesn't.
