Subclass of Combobox doesn't support filtering in vaadin

It's a common practice to subclass a ComboBox component in vaadin because it lacks setting pageLength functionality in a standard API.

The problem is that setting filteringMode doesn't work with a subclass. I've tried a simple code with ComboBox with FILTERINGMODE_STARTSWITH, it worked perfectly, the same code with the custom class - doesn't work(filtering is not working, all items are shown anyway).

Why could this problem happen?

It turned out that the problem was in pageLength parameter. If it's set to zero, then filtering doesn't work. I've set it to a big number so that it behaves the same as with zero and everything works fine.
