Research direction
The issue describes a bug where right positioned elements jump left when dragged in Safari, but not Chrome. The demo at http://jsfiddle.net/3fttdwm4/2/ reproduces the problem. Investigate the JavaScript drag handling logic, likely in the source files related to drag events. The difference may stem from Safari's handling of offset calculations or CSS positioning. Check if any browser specific workarounds exist in the codebase.
