Bug #4333 ( http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/4333) has been around for a while, and there are several fixes mentioned in the comments.  I was hoping that this would make it into 1.8, but seeing as we're already at rc2 now, it seems like this issue is being ignored.  Any news on this and whether or not it will actually be fixed in 1.8, as the milestone for the ticket states?
