Text is trimmed automatically in listview on clearing the listview

C#

I have a listview control on my form with View property set to List.
listView1.View = View.List

I ask user to chose an item from listview and then displays a confirmation message box whether to save item chosen in listview.
If user says Yes, then item is saved and the controls on the form(a textbox, a listview) was cleared to allow user to save new items.
*(For some reasons, I need to clear items in the listview first, before asking user to save another item)

I am populating list at runtime and the size of listview is wide enough to display items completely in a single row.

On first run: items were added to listview normally i.e., text for each item was completely visible)
On second run: list was first cleared and repopulated with same items. This time, text for each item was not completely visible, instead text was trimmed after a certain length of characters and an ellipsis was placed.

Also, no data bindings are done for the list.
I tried googling about the issue, but didnt find anything.

What I have tried:

listview.Refresh();
listview.RedrawItems(parameters);
