Max Autopilot Has a Problem?

I don't think this has been posted, yet. From Bloomberg, today:

Boeing 737 Max's Autopilot Has Problem, European Regulators Find

"Europe’s aviation regulator has outlined five major requirements it wants Boeing Co. to address before it will allow the planemaker’s 737 Max to return to service, according to a person familiar with the matter. One of them, about the jet’s autopilot function, hasn’t surfaced previously as an area of concern.
[. . .]
"The European regulator has found that the autopilot doesn’t always properly disengage, which could mean that pilots wouldn’t have the time to intervene before the plane begins to stall. "
