1 extra table cell when a row is dropped with jQueryUI sortable (but Chrome only)
Maybe I am totally missing your point, but could you clarify: You do want the whole row to be sortable, meaning row 1, row 2 and row 3 are interchangeable by dragging?
If that was the case, you would actually make the tbody a sortable, not the tr; applying the sortable to the tr is what causes weird behaviour here, as jqueryui tries to make the contents of the tr sortable, which goes awefully bad. To sort the rows, make the tbody a sortable, so it tries sorting the table rows.
