Global box-sizing: border-box breaks drag-and-drop in IE8

[brandmitchell]

My team has found a rather annoying bug with draggable. When using the global * declaration of box-sizing: border-box, the draggable component breaks in IE8. The issue seems to be related to the box-sizing on the main html or body tags of a page. When in use, the draggable area works within the region first loaded in the browser's viewport. If a user scrolls, attempting to bring a draggable object into the region outside the original viewport, the draggable component 'breaks' and causes a scroll event scroll the page to the top.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project! Please provide a complete reduced test case on jsFiddle to help us assess your ticket.

Additionally, be sure to test against the git version of both jQuery UI and jQuery to ensure the issue still exists. To get you started, use this boilerplate: ​http://jsfiddle.net/ZgAqH/Open the link and click to "Fork" (in the top menu) to get started.

I can definitely investigate this issue, but I'll need a test case showing the issue.

Here's a fiddle that demonstrates its broken behavior, but I am not sure how that has to do with JQueryUI!?
