Nested Droppables can cause an 'inst has no properties' error

[michelled]

I have an example of three layers of nested droppables. Taking the 'middle' droppable (which is also a draggable) and dropping it on the 'outer' droppable causes the 'inst has no properties' error.

Here is the example: ​http://build.fluidproject.org/sakai-imagegallery-tool/tests/fluid-tests/manual/jQueryDnD/nested.html

To replicate the error pick up 'Outer Item 1' and drop it on 'Container'.

To give some context to the markup, I have a portal with reorderable portlets. The portlets are in columns which are droppables. One of the portlets contains an image gallery with reorderable thumbnails. You can see a mockup of this here:

​http://build.fluidproject.org/sakai-imagegallery-tool/sample-code/reorderer/portal/portalWithAvatarClone.html

Picking up the 'Image Lightbox' portlet (by grabbing the title bar) and dropping it back where it was (on the red drop marker) causes the error.

The URL for the portal example has changed. It is now:

​http://build.fluidproject.org/sakai-imagegallery-tool/sample-code/reorderer/portal/portal.html

I've attached the example files because they are being removed from the fluid project svn.

This should be filed in the UI bug tracker if still relevant.
