jQuery Sortable List - scroll bar jumps up when sorting

Question

I created a demo: http://pastebin.me/584b9a86d715c9ba85b7bebf0375e237

When the scroll bar is at the bottom and you drag items to sort them, it causes the scroll bar

Answer 1

I have experienced this issue as well. It happens when the list dictates the length of your page. When you start sorting, the list height changes for a split second, causing the page to jump. Here is an odd, but very functional solution to this problem:

$('ul').height($('ul').height());
