Problems with AutoCompleteTextView on Actionbar/Toolbar

I've some issues with width of this element when I put it on a toolbar or actionbar. Look like this:

Toolbar problem

No problems with SearchView:

SearchView is ok

With SearchView it will be ok, but don't wanna be putting workaround in my code. What can I do? I'm using the last version of appcompat library.

search_custom:

<AutoCompleteTextView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView_searchWidget"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="5dp"
    android:textColor="@color/black"
    android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
    android:inputType="text">
    <requestFocus/>
</AutoCompleteTextView>

Menu.xml:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

<item android:id="@+id/action_search"
    android:name="search"
    android:title="@string/search"
    android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
    android:inputType="textAutoComplete|textAutoCorrect"
    app:actionLayout="@layout/search_custom"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_search"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom|collapseActionView"/>

</menu>

Gradle:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.+'

SOLVED! BEAUTIFUL WORKAROUND: 

int screenWidth = new ViewUtil(this).getScreenWidth(); // This guy return the width of the device
if(screenWidth <= 10) {
    creenWidth = 150;
}
mAutoCompleteTextView.setMinWidth(screenWidth);

In my case work this code:

textView.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams( ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

Looks like you are missing the minWidth on your AutoCompleteTextView
