Grid sets up event handling in the form locale to send corresponding events to the grid locale. If your forms are in the same locale, then only one set of event handlers are built and these send events to the first grid.
To solve this, put each new form in its own locale, i.e. on a popup request, create a locale then instantiate the form in it. This will ensure that each grid gets its own event handlers. You could create the event handlers in your script, but there is no need to do this.
