i did a quick an dirty test and using a constructor like this seems to
rule out this class of bug completelly:

```js
    constructor: function(conf) {
        let me = this;
        me.extraRequestParams = {};
        me.initConfig(conf);
        me.callParent();
    },
```

basically it configures the edit window as usual, but overwrites the
`extraRequestParams` object for each instance with a new empty object.
so there are no more shared objects :) could you check whether that also
fixes the other instances?
