Drag n Drop for Stories doesn't work

The Drag and Drop to reorder stories (backlog view) is very buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, often it just does random things. Sometimes it seems to work for a moment then suddenly changes.

What seems like related problems occur, like clicking on deliver or "approved" buttons will sometimes work, sometimes fail. Or seem to work and then a little bit later revert to the previous state.

The AJAX-y stuff needs serious debugging. Same results on Firefox vs. Chrome.

Only thing that might be unique is we have a lot of stores (like 50 or 80 per sprint). Not sure if that's an issue.

    Oh, I tried the expire date in a different way as well.

    a.) right-click story and select Move To Next - story visually moves to the top of the next sprint
    b.) visit http://scrumninja.com/projects/1192/expire without refreshing
    c.) story is back in its original location

    "move to next" seems a bit off topic from "drag and drop doesn't work", but I guess I'll just continue in this thread.

    In reality, "move to next" is ambiguous. It originally meant move this story into the top of the upcoming sprint. But this became confusing to me when it was available in future sprints, beacuse of the name I expected it to move to the next sprint in line.

    With our emergent sprint chunking feature, moving a story from the current iteration to the top of next iteration is basically the same as putting it at the bottom of the current iteration (after the backlog auto-refresh emergent thing happens).

    Would it make more sense to move things to the bottom of the next sprint? But in this case it may end up getting pushed down to the top of the next sprint after the emergent/auto-refresh.

    I'd love to hear more about how you use this "move to next" feature and what you expect it to do. I think it may need to behave differently in the current sprint and the backlog (and/or have different nomenclature)
