patch proposal for sortable
I didn't like the animation when sortable elements were released after
dragging so I added smooth:false in the options. However, this threw
an error because the helper element was being removed twice, once in
stopIt() and once somewhere down the line of the stop() stack
unwinding.
I've added one condition inside the stopIt() to make this work:
if(that.options.smooth && self.helper != self.element) {
$(self.helper).remove();
}
This may not be the best solution but it worked for me; tested under
Opera, IE6, IE7, FireFox 2 and Opera
