Showing Duplicate Menu Items in Context Menu with TextField. JavaFx. JDK 14
I want the program to show context menu when user starts typing. The context menu should display all the String from array list which the user is typing (Like search). It should change as the user types or changes value in text field. The problem is its working but it is giving me duplicate values. but when i try printing the sorted list, it doesnt contain duplicate values. I have attach pictures below.
FIXED THE ISSUE
by removing the items from Context Menu with CM.getItems().clear();
Rather than removing it with loop. Somehow this was causing the issue CM.getItems().remove(i);
