    Absolute Positioning of Elements

    Hi,
     
    Playing around with the demo versions on this site and am having problems with the "Position Absolutely" option. Steps to reproduce:
     
    1. Type some text.
    2. Add a textbox
    3. Click Position Absolutely
    4. Try moving the item around and it "jumps" away from the cursor - the offsets appear to be relative to the textbox's original position / container.
     
    The HTML shows position: relative for the style.  Changing to position: absolute and things work as expected (eg, items can be moved without the "jump".)
     
    Am I missing something in these online demos?
     
    Thanks!
     
     
    Shawn
