Drag broken under specific absolute position and drag handle using :before conditions

[719media]

When a draggable item is using a drag handle with :before css, and the draggable item also contains an absolutely positioned element, the drag is broken.

I came across this because the font-awesome library uses css :before to display the fonts (e.g. http://fontawesome.io/icon/bars/), so if you use font awesome icon as drag handle you automatically get half of the condition.

Tested on master.

A week later, I'm having difficult replicating my exact test case. On a related note, the follow codepen which was forked from a different example from the author (see #306) works in chrome, but not firefox, using master (version 1.6.0). Perhaps firefox has issues rendering <tr> outside of <table>, but chrome does not?

your original issue is still an issue for me in Firefox.

for the table fiddle, what issue are you experiencing in firefox? it works perfectly for me.

For the fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/4x00skx7/2/
I'm using Firefox 53.0.3 (latest) on a mac.
When I click to drag the rows, they don't do anything.

Using Chrome 58.0.3029.110 (latest) on a mac, the fiddle works as expected.

on Firefox 53.0.3 (32-bit) using windows 10, I have no issues with that fiddle. sounds like a bug with Firefox on Mac.

I found a similar issue

If all of the following is true:

(1) font image (fa, mdi tested) and used as a handle
(2) bootstrap select plugin (silviomoreto.github.io/bootstrap-select/) in a table row/cell
(3) using firefox (I tested on windows 10)

then dragging won't work in a table (see jsbin below)

Any ideas on a solution other than trying to avoid any of the above 3 conditions?

I have the same issue. When using a handle dragging doesn't work in firefox.
Anyone found a solution for this?

Same issue with Firefox for Ubuntu 65.0 (64-bit) form the canonical repository. Works however fine with Chromium.

Okay I found that when I start firefox in safe mode (all add ons disabled) then it works, so I think my ad blocker or bitcoin mining blocker is the issue here.
