Description

to reproduce in firefox 3.5

the key is the overflow:auto of the li

(without overflow its a visual disaster because of the floating content)

sort: function() { console.log("sorting"); }

reveals two calls before the li 'sticks' to the the mouse and further logs fail

summary: sortable fails if li element has overflow set to auto → Sortable: fails if li element has overflow set to auto

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project! I was able to recreate this problem in Firefox 3.6 with this: http://jsfiddle.net/petersendidit/fDTUJ/1/ But it looks like the bug is not reproducible in Firefox 4.0+.

If you have a fix fore the problem in Firefox 3.5 feel free to submit a pull request on github.
