Sortable: update event gets fired after calling cancel()

[bnw]

Affected browsers: any

Step-by-step:

• Open ​http://jsfiddle.net/1yu9Lpfm/1/
• Drag "Item 1" to a new position and hold it there.
• Wait for the timeout to call the "cancel"-event (after 2 seconds).

Expected behavior:

• The "update"-event should not be triggered, because the sorting was canceled and thus reverted.

Actual behavior:

• The "update"-event is triggered.
• Furthermore, the "update"-event is triggered before the "Item 1" is returned to its original position. If the application relies on the element's position in the DOM, it gets the false impression, that the element was in fact moved.

What is your use case for calling cancel() while the user is actively sorting items? That seems like a strange thing to be doing.

I want the sorting to be canceled, when the user hits ESC (similar to Windows explorer or finder on Mac).

Ok thanks. Given that there is a cancel() method I would not expect an update event under these circumstances.
