Answer 1

I had the same issue. The problem here is with the widget. Tried to fix it for very long. The only way in worked for me was changing form's widget.

If it doesn't matter that much you can use autocomplete.ListSelect2 instead, it worked for me.

So try this:

class Form_country(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
       model = Country
       fields = ('name', 'code2l')
       widgets = {
          'name': autocomplete.ListSelect2(
            'country-autocomplete'
           )
       }

Actually you can just try any other autocomplete widget and see weather it works
