icefaces - use autocomplete in dialog

I use autocomplete in dialog. The problem is that autocomplete isn't properly displayed. Image will diescribe it the best so this is how it looks like:

As you can see autocomplete isn't completely visible and scrollbar appears on the right. What I want to achieve is that autocomplete will be completely visible without scrollbar. This is what I want to achieve:

This is the sample code (original application code is too complicated so I created demo app which works in the same way):

index.xhtml

public class AutoCompleteEntryBean {

    private String selectedText;
    private List<SelectItem> cities;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        cities = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
        cities.add(new SelectItem("Warsaw"));
        cities.add(new SelectItem("Warsaw1"));
        cities.add(new SelectItem("Warsaw2"));

    public String getSelectedText() {
        return selectedText;
    }

    public void setSelectedText(String selectedText) {
        this.selectedText = selectedText;
    }

    public List<SelectItem> getCities() {
        return cities;
    }

}
Solution

  • Problem solved by setting overflow: visible; for ace:dialog and it's content (div[id$='_main']).
