jQuery 1.8+ breaks sortable list scrolling inside absolute positioned element with bottom: 0

Question

Using jQuery 1.7.2 I was able to drag sortable elements inside an absolutely positioned element with bottom: 0; But upgrading from jQuery 1.7.2 to 1.8 causes the following jsfiddle to not work:

The container never scrolls. If you switch back to 1.7.2, it scrolls.

I can't find an update in the jQuery changelog, and I'm not finding similar bug reports in jQueryUI.

Trying to figure out why it broke and how to fix it.

Answer 1

It seems to be fixed with jQuery 1.8.3 and jQuery UI 1.9.2
