offset

I have a problem with a jQuery UI 1.7.2 sortable list in Firefox, IE7-8 work fine. When I'm scrolled down a bit, the helper element seems to have an offset of the same height that I'm scrolled down which makes it impossible to see which item you originally started dragging. How do I fix this or work around the issue? If there is no fix what is a really good alternative drag-able plugin?

Here are my initialization parameters for the sortable.

$("#sortable").sortable( {placeholder: 'ui-state-highlight'  } );
$("#sortable").disableSelection();
