% emacs -Q
C-h c
C-h


After "C-h c" I get the expected prompt for a key or menu item.  After
the next "C-h" I expect to see the prompt stay and include the
incomplete key sequence.  Instead, it disappears, leaving no hint what
Emacs is waiting for.

Sometimes the cursor is shown in the first column of the minibuffer
window, and sometimes it's not; I haven't figured out if there's any
consistency there.  If the cursor is present, it generally seems to
disappear if I wait a few seconds.

If I use "emacs -Q -nw", then after the second C-h the text cursor is
always in the minibuffer window, with no text.
