Exploring front-end technologies like jQuery and CSS is a new adventure for me, but I find myself puzzled as to why the same code displays differently.
The code snippet I'm referring to is the example of the sortable widget provided by jQuery.
Interestingly enough, while the text renders flawlessly on Firefox, Chrome seems to have a different interpretation resulting in the text items such as Item 1, Item 2, ... falling outside of their designated spaces as shown in the screenshot below.
Browser Versions: Firefox - 50.1.0, Google Chrome - 55.0.2883.87
