The behaviour was improved in TYPO3 v12, there is also a patch for v11 (https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/80116), applying this patch with composer-patches does not help if gridelements is installed because gridelements overrides the core behaviour

Also, the dialog displayed by gridelements is not localized (always displayed in English).

Reproduce

1. create a content element, e.g. "textmedia" [1]
2. create a shortcut element, referencing the first element [2]
3. try to delete the first element (which has references) using the inline delete buttons in the page module

Versions

• gridelements: 11.0.0, also reproduced with latest "master"
• TYPO3 core: 11.5.29
