jQuery dialog height problem

Hi All,

I will describe you a problem that I have experienced with jQuery dialog in IE8 (but I guess that it can be reproduced on other versions of IE too).

The problem appears when you create a draggable dialog and you want to set a height to it, and the problem is that when you drag and drop the dialog multiple times then the dialog height will get smaller.

If you notice such a strange behavior then you need to know that this is because of the height that you have set for the dialog.

When you set the height of the dialog something wrong is happening inside the jQuery library.

How to fix this?

jQuery Dialog BUG in IE6 & Quirks Mode

Hi,

I have found a bug in jQuery dialog - it has strange behavior when dragging and resizing a dialog in IE6 or IE7 and up in Quirks Mode.

The problem is that when resizing or dragging many times then the Dialog:

• Becomes smaller;
• The content becomes bigger.

I've been trying a lot to try and fix this, I had a walk-through the jQuery UI code and found out these:

On dragging guys from jQuery performs some strange things:

• Why do they set the height of the Dialog to it's height? "$(this).height($(this).height())". I would not have had anything against it if that piece of code would not set the height of the Dialog with 5px shorter.
  Yes, I'm serious - 5px shorter, however I could not understand how that is possible because it set's the height to the same height.
