AutoCompleteTextView displays a ListView in a popup for automatic completion. Attached is an image detailing the problem. Just before the first point, there is a small supply of white. This stock is displayed only at the top of the list. This problem is observed on device 2.3, but on 4.x this problem is not visible.

Can someone indicate the reason for this behavior and the way to fix it.
