I never claimed that in the > case you mention the display should start at BOB. But the changes you proposed didn't distinguish between the completion use case and the other use cases. resize_mini_window is used for any display of the mini-window` that includes alls displays of the minibuffer and also the display of the echo area. The changes you proposed will affect all of them, because they don't distinguish between them. > In the simplest case they are, in more complex cases they are not.

The change I installed either improves on the current behavior or keeps the current behavior in the more complex cases, and improves the behavior in the simple case that started this bug report. > Let's continue this discussion in bug#43572, where I eagerly wait for your > comments. Coming up.
