Description

Description:

Trying the delegation option today I've got stuck into a thing where the option wasn't following my lead, so I'm open this to get sure if that's really consider a bug or not.

Expected Behavior:

The ajaxForm would normally work if any of the forms were removed and re-appended to DOM.

Actual behavior:

The delegation option doesn't obey to the jQuery selector and overwrite the forms that came before.

Versions:

jQuery: 3.3.1 and probably others;
Browsers: Chrome and probably others.

Demonstration

Link to demonstration of issue in CodePen.

Steps to reproduce:

Just click on the buttons.

Research direction

Start with the linked CodePen demonstration and reproduce the behavior by clicking the buttons with delegation enabled. Check how the selector behaves when forms are removed and re-appended; done means the delegation option respects the jQuery selector without overwriting earlier forms.
