Rails spinoffs - Dec 2005 - Choppiness in FF v1.5

Hey all,

I''ve got an interesting one for anyone who''s up for a
challenge.
Essentially, I have a very choppy effect, that almost looks like 
timeouts are overloaded or interfering or something, that only occurs 
when sortables are on the same page as "standard" effects.
Here''s what
I''m doing:

I have a menu that slides in and out on the right side of the page. I 
also have a series of sortable divs that get somewhat compressed as the 
menu slides in, and nicely resize to normal when the menu slides out. 
When I load the page, and ONLY show/hide the menu, the menu works 
great...very smooth. As soon as I have dragged some items in the 
sortable list, however, I get very "choppy" behaviour in the 
menu...check out the following URL using FF (I''m using 1.5).

http://jerod.ontasksoftware.com/demo/index.php

To reproduce:
1) Click Add Content (view the smooth slide in)
2) Click Close (view the smooth slide out)
3) Drag one of the items in the sortable list
4) Click Add Content again. The sliding is now very choppy.

Any thoughts? I don''t remember seeing this in 1.07...anyone running
that
version able to confirm?

Interesting.  I did see some menu expand choppiness
after the first drag (wasn''t smooth, but wasn''t too
bad), but if I drag again it goes away.  (FF1.5 on
WinXP).

I only see chopiness on the first slide after dragging elements (only
the first show or hide) on FF 1.5 for OSX

Ugh, I give up. I''ve gotta clean up the sortable divs anyway, maybe
when
I''m done it''ll go away :)
