What is a "line" for this purpose? The notion of a "canonical line" is well defined, and that is what we use. Any other notion will have to be defined first, and it isn't easy, I can tell you. > Or, on this case, max-mini-window-height being a true > indication of the capacity of the mini window on terms of the current > display settings, which is what the users want 99.9% of the time. Unless you counted only yourself in those 99.9%, it is a strange thing to say about the modern Emacs. It's as if you wanted to go back to Emacs 18, where all lines were the same height.
