Capybara::Selenium::Driver::DEFAULT_OPTIONS[:resynchronize] = false
I am also getting the following warning:
Selenium::WebDriver::Element#drag_and_drop_{by,on} is deprecated. Please use Selenium::WebDriver::Driver#action (and Selenium::WebDriver::ActionBuilder) instead.
However after some investigation it appears that this is an issue Capybara should deal with; presumably the Capybara implementation should be updated and not my integration test code (which should only use the external Capybara API).
