AutoCompleteTextField keeps sliding down when used with a Side Menu.

If you start a brand new codename one project (bare bone ) You can try replacing the start() function with this one: Basically, I create a new form, I create a side menu with 2 commands. Also I create a command listener. If one of the side menu is selected, I display the AutcompleteTextField , if the other commands get selected then some other content is displayed.

If you alternate between the two commands back and forth while searching , you will see that the pop up will slide down further when we navigate away and come back to it.

NOTE: one interesting observation, on start up on the first time around , the pop up is already detached from the text field but it looks close enough. I am not sure why it keeps sliding down since it is bascially the exact same code we are loading given that I call hi.removeAll() at the beginning.

I seriously appreciate any guidance or workaround as my design really requires a side menu and an autocompelteTextField that I am using along side with Google address search.

`public void start() { if (current != null) { current.show(); return; } Form hi = new Form("Hi World"); Toolbar bar = new Toolbar(); hi.setToolbar(bar); Command test1 = new Command("Test 1"); Command test2 = new Command("Test 2"); bar.addCommandToSideMenu(test1); bar.addCommandToSideMenu(test2); hi.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

    hi.addCommandListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

            if (evt.getCommand().getCommandName().equals("Test 1")) {

                hi.removeAll();
                String[] completion = new String[]{"abcdef", "bbcdef", "ccdef", "dd", "ef", "f"};
                AutoCompleteTextField search = new AutoCompleteTextField(completion);
                hi.addComponent(BorderLayout.NORTH, search);
                hi.repaint();
                hi.revalidate();
            } else {
                hi.removeAll();
                hi.addComponent(BorderLayout.NORTH, new Label("Welcome to test2"));
                hi.repaint();
                hi.revalidate();
            }

        }

    });

    hi.show();
}`
