I am using AutoCompleteTextField in my codenameone App and in this i'm facing an issue some times AutoCompleteTextField popup overlapping the text area of AutoCompleteTextField when scrolling the form/container. 

I attached screenshots.
I think these screenshots will help you to understand the problem easily 

Please suggest me to how to solve this?

Thanks

The auto complete text should fold when you tap outside of the text field to stop editing. How are you able to scroll without triggering the folding?

I see. The popup in auto complete is riddled with bugs and problems as it predated a lot of our newer code e.g. InteractionDialog.
We should generally rewrite it but there are other priorities in place.

You can file an issue on this but I'm not sure when we'll get around to it as the "right thing" would be a complete rewrite.
