Sortable: 'out' callback triggered on dropping item

[nc]

​http://jsfiddle.net/drewP/m7VJq/1/

Add the following line to the 'out' callback function:

alert('out');

Run the change. Click-drag-release one of the list items, dragging only a few pixels. The out callback seems to be getting called on the release (after the beforeStop).

Tried and occurs with jQuery UI 1.8.23, 1.8.18, 1.8.16 on FireFox 15.0.1 and IE 8 on Windows 7.

Looks like out is getting triggered on every drop.

Thanks for contributing! Unfortunately, this is actually intended behavior, but the docs are unclear on this point. I'll go ahead and update the docs to clarify this point. If you need to do something only on over events that aren't on drops, you can use the "beforeStop" event to prevent an action on the subsequent "out" event.
