Sortables and Tolerance

Sortables and Tolerance


I have JQuery UI 1.5.2 and have three linked sortables where it is
quite difficult to get a linked sortable to accept the new item.
I have tried all of the new tolerance types without success.
I would have expected the target sortable to accept an item when the
item overlaps perhaps 50% of the new list but it seems to need
sometimes over 100%.
Here is some code:
    $("#container_1").sortable({
        revert:true,
        scroll: true,
        placeholder: 'hover',
        items: '> div',
        distance: 5,
        //tolerance: 'pointer',
        connectWith: ['#container_2', '#container_3']
    });
Cheers for any help,
Mike
