Description

from draggable plugin

_createHelper: function(event) {
...
if(!helper.parents('body').length)	
helper.appendTo((o.appendTo == 'parent' ? this.element[0].parentNode : o.appendTo));
...
}

The if conditions means it, and it is. Looks like bug.

_comment0: In order to fix this, we would need to keep a reference to the original element's parent and index, for returning it back there. Such a reference rather than a placeholder element, as no one element type (such as div) can be put in place of all other elements (such as an li). \ \ A workaround in the meantime is to use helper: "clone" and hide the original on dragStart and show and dragStop. → 1298893036488548

This is expected and the documented behavior. I've opened a ticket to clarify it further, but this won't be fixed: https://github.com/jquery/api.jqueryui.com/issues/224
