“Bubble Tea list shows ‘ghost’ items after SetItems on custom filter”

[shripadrayewar]

Hi, I’m building a two-pane TUI using bubbles/list (left list + right detail). I added a custom filter input (textinput) to narrow items in the list. The filtering works, but when I type a query, I still see “ghost” entries from the previous unfiltered state (they scroll into view or appear below the filtered ones).

Here’s the relevant code from my filter function:

func (m *Model) applyFilterAndRefreshList() {
    items := m.allConfigs
    q := strings.TrimSpace(m.filterInput.Value())
    if q != "" {
        filtered := make([]Entry, 0, len(items))
        for _, e := range items {
            val := strings.ToLower(fmt.Sprintf("%s %s %s", e.Name, e.Server, e.RemoteHost))
            if strings.Contains(val, strings.ToLower(q)) {
                filtered = append(filtered, e)
            }
        }
        items = filtered
    }
    li := make([]list.Item, 0, len(items))
    for _, e := range items {
        li = append(li, EntryItem{E: e})
    }
    m.list.SetItems(li)
    m.list.ResetFilter()
    if len(li) > 0 {
        m.list.Select(0)
    }
}

What I expect: only the filtered items show.
What happens: filtered items show at the top, but I can still scroll into the old entries (ghost items).

Am I missing something obvious with list.SetItems or how the list’s internal state resets? What’s the correct way to completely replace items without ghost entries?
