I have a layout that started life with ui 1.8.5 and jquery 1.4.3. I loaded up ui 1.8.9 and there is obviously a loss of padding and perhaps an increase in border thicknesses. The dialog wants to position itself at -136 px above the top of the page.
I then switched to jquery 1.5.0, assuming I had an issue with the versions clashing.
But with ui 1.8.9 and jquery 1.5.0 I see the same problems. See attached firefox screenshots.(top is older versions, bottom is newer versions). I changed nothing except the jquery/ui file versions. I verified that I see all the .js and .css files loaded correctly. I even removed the scripts and css I wrote to assure myself I was not conflicting with the jquery stuff.
I downloaded the Richmond and pepper-grinder themes from the jqueryui site -- both seem to misbehave the same way.
Can someone shed light on this for me?
thanks
