TypeError when Dragging a Field to the Bottom of the Window

Hello,

We noticed that if we drag a field to the bottom edge of the window, we start to see numerous "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'classList' of null" errors in the console. We thought we'd bring this up as it appears to be a bug.
We've also prepared a jsFiddle and video for convenience.

One observation we had was that it only happens when we drag a field to the bottom of the window. That is, if the field is dragged to the left, right, or top, then the error does not occur.

Hello, Vera,

It appears that 2.8.30 has fixed it for the fiddle above, but we still see the same error in our application. I believe it is because of how we styled our html elements - we've prepared a jsFiddle for convenience. Specifically,

We have a container that takes the full height of the window - this css class is named .full-height
Within this container we have various content, one of which that has an overflow: auto property, this css class is named .overflow
1. Within the .overflow container, another container to group elements related to the pivot table. This class is named .pivot-content
When a field is dragged to the right edge of the window, the errors show up in the console.
jsFiddle
- One observation we had was that if we removed the overflow: auto property, the error seems to go away. However, due to some business constraints we need the overflow: auto property on the corresponding html element.

Please let us know if we need to clarify any of the above or if a video is needed; my microphone doesn't want to pick up audio at the time of this post.
