Sortable: DOM height() not calculated properly after updating, while dragging

Description

I've got two connected lists of different widths. One of the items I'm dragging between the two of them has two floated child elements, which, upon dragging out of one sortable list into another, resize, vertically and horizontally.

I'm using a custom animation callback to change the width of the element, which, because of the floats, changes the height as well. I have, however, debugged the output for ui.item.height(), ui.placeholder.height(), and ui.helper.height(), and for one of the widgets the pre-drag height is 133px; after dragging into the new list, and it is visually taller (and thinner), the height calculated by .height() is still 133px and it is not 189px (as it should be) until I begin draggin again.

The end result of this is that some widgets with greater variation in size - one "grows" by as much as 200px - makes the sortable list nearly unusable because of the massive chunk of whitespace between the actively sorted element and it's neighbors.

Source attached.

Same issue here. After changing the width of the helper opject, the height stays the same.

petersendidit, can we try making a test case from the attachment instead of pending this one?
