Any news on this bug?

I encountered this when I haven't set Filterable List then I type on edit text. So what I did was set a default list for the Filterable List and refresh the list whenever the user types on the edittext.

bump. I tried @dmachacon 's suggestion but I am still getting the error, albeit intermittently
