Issues running in Win 8.1

[SteveTheTechie]

My users that use Win 8.1 are complaining that while they can see the 4 pointed arrow, they are not able to drag and drop rows in tables. The tables are used to contain meeting agendas, and the ability to reorder rows in the agenda is important.

Using jquery 1.11.1, jquery ui 1.9.2 and latest tablednd with the hasTouch pull request code included.
I load TableDnD before jQuery UI as I have found in the past, I run into issue if I load it after jQuery UI. I know jQuery UI has a drag and drop and sortables in it; however, I am not the original developer on this project, so I do not know what the thinking was at the time when this was implemented.

Some research via Google that may be helpful:
