Reordering feature not working properly

[scanzy]

Hi, I've been experiencing issues when trying to reorder items.
The problem occurs only if the list is bigger than the page (and the scrolling bar appears). For example if the page can show 10 list elements, there are problems reordering all the elements from the 11th.
It looks like the plugin doesn't take into account the scroll position of the list.

Thanks in advance

@scanzy could you provide a screenshot or gif of this issue? This might be a core problem, needs testing.

As you can see in the screenshots, when the scrollbar is all the way up everything is working fine, so the grey element (new item position) is right under the light blue one (grabbed by the mouse).

The more I scroll down the list, the more the distance between the gray element and the light blue one

Also, I am noticing that strange grey rectangle on the right, what is it for?

@scanzy thanks a lot for screenshots. Grey thing is a scroll bar, part of it ;)
And most probably it's a core issue, more specifically with this plugin: https://github.com/johnny/jquery-sortable

I also experienced this problem as my sitemap got longer .. super frustrating!

We need to fix the old jQuery plugin for the solo case. I don't have time for that at the moment.

@RCheesley @scanzy if you guys want you can always work on a fix yourself and then submit it to the core in a PR, or you can feel free to sponsor the issue / have your company's sponsor it so that it would get dealt with sooner.

For what it's worth, I've also encountered the issue, so we know it's a bug, it just hasn't annoyed me personally enough yet to care about spending time on fixing it, but if it's reached that point for someone else - great! Issues only get dealt with by people that care about resolving them, so for an issue to get fixed, that has to be someone 😉

This should have been fixed as part of rainlab/pages-plugin#384

Thanks
