I have noticed an issue (bug?) with IE8 and the sortable interaction when applied to the tbody of a table. A user will begin to sort and then the sorting suddenly stops even if the user has not release the mouse button. Below is a video that shows this behavior.
The first part shows IE7 and sorting is working with no issues. There is a div at the top that keeps track of whether the mouse button is up or down. Upon sort start the mouse is down and when I stop sorting I let the mouse up. The second part shows IE8. I start to sort and all of a sudden it stops but I have not released the mouse button.
This is a little random but it seems to be most common when sorting quickly. My apologies for not being able to provide a crystal clear reproducible example but I am new to jQuery/UI and I am not sure what else I can do.
I've never had any issues with sortable on a tables (besides this) but I'll take a look at that plugin, but the jQueryUI one looks so polished. Thanks.
Looks like that plugin doesn't support connecting multiple tables, which is what our current app does. I guess I'm living on the edge but no users have reported any issues yet. If they do I'll tell them to sort slower or use a different browser.
Is there any fix for this issue? I'm using jquery ui 1.10.0 and still this issue is in there? Only in IE8!
Dragging an item around and then it suddenly stops and you can't drag anymore. You have to click outside the drag area and then you can drag an item.. It's exactly the same issue as show in the TS video, only I use images.
