 Description   
I created a new variable, which appeared automatically at the bottom of the list. I want it to be nearer the top, so I used click-drag to reorder it.
When I hit refresh, a different variable had been moved. I moved it back, but the wrong one moved, so I tried to move them again... things got very confusing after that.

Further investigation suggests that the error occurs if I move a variable which is defined as a very long (50+ lines) script.
Or, if I move a variable that was before or after such a script.

Tried but can not reproduce. Are there any errors printed on QB server log when this happens?

I will send you my configuration.xml, maybe you can reproduce it with that. I was able to reproduce in a test environment.

I experiemented more, and today it looks like the wierdness happens if I move the 32nd element, or move something below the 32nd element to above it. It is repeatable.

Oh! Something I should have mentioned, the issue is manifesting in a child configuration of root, which has about 50 variables defined, and inherits about 35 variables from the parent.
It does not appear to manifest in the root configuration.

If I grab the item just below the one I want to move, and move it to the location I want to move to, and then refresh, I get the result I want.
However, this is only for items in the bottom of the list. The top 32 items in the list I am able to move with no confusion.

The effect of moving an item in and out of the top 32 seems to be unpredictable, but maybe I just haven't figured out the pattern.

Instead of sending me the standalone configuration.xml, please send me the full database backup if possible. Thanks!
