Closing a Modal Frame breaks mouse events of autocomplete widgets on parent window

First I'd like to thank Markus for this module and all of the modules he has contributed to the community and continues to diligently support -- they have really allowed us to build some great and intuitive web apps for internal use within our company.

The issue we are consistently having with this module is that following the creation of a new node via the 'Create and Reference' functionality provided by the Node Relationships (Extras) module (when the child window has been submitted, and automatically closed), the parent window's autocomplete fields no longer function appropriately. Basically, when search criteria are entered into these fields, the results display, but do not clear once a selection is made. They ONLY clear when the submit button has been pressed. The first time submit is pressed the results from all autocompletes having entered search criteria clear, and the second time submit is pressed the form actually submits.

I'm guessing there is an issue with how the autocomplete javascript is triggering off the submittal of the child / modal form which is causing these issues in the parent form. My hope is this is a quick fix for someone familiar with the autocomplete js -- my assumption is that we somehow need to 'reset' the state of the parent form/window after the modal/child has submitted and closed.

I have reproduced this issue with both JQuery 1.2.6 JQUI 1.6 as well as with JQuery 1.3.x and JQUI 1.7

We have documented this issue as occuring with any field supporting the autcomplete widget (taxonomy, node reference, user reference etc).
