jQuery UI sortable tolerance option not working as expected
jquery, jquery-ui, jquery-ui-sortable
Solution
This happens exactly as you described in IE9, FF11 and Chrome18.
Intersect overlaps when mouse is at least 50% above. I think this is the documentation who is not correct.
EDIT: I found no bug related to this in JQuery Bugtracker.
Problem
Here is the part from jQuery UI documentation for the `tolerance` option: This is the way the reordering behaves during drag. Possible values: 'intersect', 'pointer'. In some setups, 'pointer' is more natural. intersect: draggable overlaps the droppable at least 50% The default is `intersect`, but if the mouse pointer is not above the sortable items, the sort does not happen, no matter that the dragged element is at least 50% over another sortable item (the functionality I expect) This happens on the demo page as well (linked above) Is this a bug in jQuery UI, or am I understanding it wrong?
