Positioning of CEs broken while drag-n-drop is active

[rr-it]

CEs from inside a container element are wrongly positioned while drag-n-drop is active.

In this example you can still see the dragged CE. If the CE is further down the page you can't see it at all.

Unfortunately, the approach in the core issue does not solve the problem. position: relative; is necessary because the top, left, right values are set using JavaScript. I suggest an incorrect value calculation of the top value for the elements within the container.

For TYPO3 v12 there won't be any fix in core - even though v12 is still in "Regular Maintenance" ( https://typo3.org/cms/roadmap#section-support-times ). So we should implement a fix in b13/container especially for TYPO3 v12. See https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/83650/comments/9c008db0_c0de45e8

For TYPO3 v13 core merger doesn't see an actual bug here and only merges a change as 'feature' or 'task'. See https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/83650/comments/42950ee1_7e0fccff

If the core needs "fixing" we might want to get any change into TYPO3 v13 before it gets released:

• 13.3 "Feature freeze": estimated 2024-09-17
• 13.4 "LTS-release": estimated 2024-10-15

so can this be fixed in the extension or must this be fixed in the core?
