I found a fix that will suffice for now: if I set android:dropDownHeight="fill_parent", the autocomplete box will always take up the space that's left over by the IME. There's one consequence: if there's only a few matches (left), a large empty (in my case white) box remains, but for now that's acceptable and much better than broken view remnants.
I found one more occurence on the 'net: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/11aae5b37699accf/119841f8b7f2da3e?show_docid=119841f8b7f2da3e but otherwise there seems to be no record of this issue at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
