Before the change you saw some part of the directory name (not necessarily all of it, depending on how long the directory name was), and none of the prompt. After the change you see the prompt followed by some part of the directory name, which is smaller than in the previous behavior. I think the behavior after the change is better: it shows the prompt, as was required, and it matches the behavior you wanted, which was to start the display in the mini-window from BOB. So I don't understand what problems do you see in the new behavior that wasn't present in the old behavior. Displaying long stuff in a mini-window that is forced to be small will always present some problems, no matter what we do. The best solution is to fit the stuff to be displayed to the dimensions of the mini-window, but that is something only a Lisp program can do, the display engine cannot.
