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
This is how i solve the issue.
$(".groups").sortable({ ... helper: function(event, ui){ lastScrollPosition = $("body").scrollTop(); }, start: function(e, ui){ // avoid scroll jump $("body").scrollTop(lastScrollPosition); }, });
