jQuery UI Sorting Freezes WYSIWYG Editors

[PF1]

When using the jQuery UI "Sortable" feature with WYSIWYG text editors, the moved text editor freezes and doesn't allow any editing. I have attached a page that demonstrates the problem with a CKEditor, but the bug can be demonstrated in all of the WYSIWYG editors I tested.

Please verify that the WYSIWYG editors continue to work if you move them around in the DOM without jQuery. If that works, then you can re-open this ticket.

Are you referring to something like the following, or a complete reordering Javascript script?

var element = document.getElementById("editor1");
var oldParent = document.getElementById("editor_container1");
var newParent = document.getElementById("editor_container2");
newParent.appendChild(element);
	
var element = document.getElementById("editor2");
var oldParent = document.getElementById("editor_container2");
var newParent = document.getElementById("editor_container1");
newParent.appendChild(element);

[Scott González]

Yup, that's exactly what I was asking for. Do the editors continue to work if you run that code?

[PF1]

Yes, the editors continue to run if that code is run.

We're going to need a live reduced test case in order to look into this issue.
