36337	"Broken autocomplete inside Inline after clicking ""Add another ..."""	Michał Pokusa	Ahmed Nassar	"This error occurs on versions from 3.2 (or even before, untested) up to latest (5.2 at this time). It seems like it is only JS/CSS related.
Happens with both `TabularInline` and `StackedInline`.

Possibly related to #36336.

Tested on Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge and on mobile device.

Steps to reproduce (code below):
1. Go to change form view (editing existing object, adding new one, doesn't matter)
2. Click ""X"" on any inline except last one
3. Click ""Add another ..."" once again
