Description

Moving pinned columns seems to work in the sense that the column does move, but the clone used for indicating the moving position does not work.

Also, on the example from the plunkr, if you pin 3 columns to the left and scroll the other one far to the right, when you try to move a column from the pinned ones, the container with the unpinned columns starts scrolling.

Research direction
Investigate the clone logic for column drag in angular ui grid. The issue includes a Plunker demo (http://plnkr.co/edit/3Sfkbvd7d7g0Ze8GHJ5P?p=preview) which reproduces the bug. Focus on how pinned columns are handled during drag and whether the drag clone position updates correctly. Also examine the scrolling behavior when moving pinned columns while other columns are scrolled. Look at relevant source files such as those handling column drag&drop and pinned columns. Additionally, check if there are any related pull requests or comments that discuss potential fixes.
