When a portlet is moved to or added to a layout column with start static portlets, the newly inserted portlet does not retain its position in the column when the page is refreshed. This is due to the database not storing the positions of the static portlets. Since the newly inserted portlet is given a value which reflects the position which includes the static portlets, it is stored incorrectly in the database. The position passed into the database needs to reflect the index without the static portlets.
