bug#3988: 23.1; Emacs window clipped on OS X

[Josiah Schwab]

The minibuffer appears cutoff when starting Emacs.
See http://web.mit.edu/jschwab/Public/emacs_bug.png

Steps to reproduce:

1) Have emacs change the default font on startup
My .emacs:
(set-default-font "-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70- 
ISO8859-1")

2) Start emacs
    - The window is initially very large, larger than the screen.
    Note: If one does not set the default font to something smaller,  
the minibuffer does not appear at all as it is off the bottom of the  
screen.
    - The window quickly resizes to use the smaller font
    BUG: The minibuffer in the resized window is partially cut off

bug#3988: 23.1; Emacs window clipped on OS X

[Hagmonk]

I’m unable to reproduce this bug using Emacs 25.0.92.2 on OS X 10.11.3.

% cat /tmp/foo.el
(set-default-font "-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1”)
% ./nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q --load /tmp/foo.el

The window comes up at the right size, and the mini buffer is not cut off.

Hi, sorry it's taken so long for us to respond to this bug report.

We're unable to reproduce it and believe it has probably been fixed some
time since you reported it. I'm going to close it, but if you're still
seeing the problem, please get back to us.
