Sortable: ui.helper is null when receiving a draggable clone

[fosslin]

take this for instance.. if i change from receive to stop or update it will work perfectly... but when having that 'receive' it doesn't do s* (so).

$(".draggable").draggable({   
	connectToSortable:  '.sortable',
	helper: 'clone'
});			


$(".sortable").sortable({   
	receive : function(e,ui) {
		ui.item.text("hello there, litlle you..");
		}
       });

problem is: ui.item is undefined when using callback receive from a draggable list. but not fram a sortable list!

I cannot recreate this issue with neither the latest jQuery UI version nor the versions used in this ticket originally. It looks like the receive event has a populated ui.item property - ​http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/FKAuT/.

If anybody else can recreate this please let me know and I can reinvestigate.

The problem is that ui.item refers to the original item and there is no way to reference the helper which is being added to the sortable. I'd updated your fiddle so that the text in ui.item changes on receive so that this is easy to see: ​http://jsfiddle.net/FKAuT/1/
