This bug is fixed in PHPMyAdmin Release 4.8.2 and would be resolved in updating the package.

Refer: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/13932

Would be nice, if the package gets an update soon, because currently the shipped version is broken (or at least very annoying) and nobody wants to install a custom package or manually change code of the installation for this.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
