Description

So I'm trying to make an element snap to some guide-lines on the document, but they are always hidden, only when you start dragging the element, they show up and then I would like the element to snap to those lines... but draggable doesn't seem to care much about those guide-lines that were hidden before start dragging.

I made this JSFiddle so you can see what I'm talking about.

Start dragging and stop... then drag again to try to make it snap to the lines that were hidden.

Hi msqar,

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to jQuery UI You can get the behavior you're looking for by using a 

mousedown
listener so that the showing/hiding occurs before draggable's snap logic runs: http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/cLs7mq4p/2/.

This isn't something we intend to add support for in the library as the 

snap
option is not being preserved in the draggable widget rewrite. Also this behavioris something no one has asked for before.
