Comment (by tyxla):

 I had some investigation to diagnose where the issue comes from. I
 concluded that it occurred together with the update to jQuery UI 1.11.2.

 I was able to isolate the piece of code that is responsible for the issue,
 so I'm providing here the code in the older version of the UI (1.11.1)
 which fixes the issue.

 Basically, in 1.11.2 the creation of a clone of the list group item was
 removed, which was done in 1.11.1 and worked pretty well.

 Since modifications to external libraries are not recommended, I can
 suggest that we send this one upstream to the jQuery UI developers.
