The minimalist working example below swaps the two boxes when box '
one' is dragged and dropped on box 'two'. The problem is that when box '
one' is dropped, its style has 'top' & 'left' values causing it to be placed away from where it should drop. Its class includes 'ui-draggable-dragging'. It seems the top & left values are related to the amount the elements were dragged before the drop. And the dragging was 'interrupted' hence the residual 'ui-draggable-dragging' class?
What am I missing to make the swap work seamlessly? full jsfiddle example here
