Ok, it's probably not worth trying to change the display engine for
this.
Maybe we can fix it in icomplete instead. AFAIK icomplete tries to
limit the number of shown candidates according to some settings like
maximum number of lines to display, but doesn't handle the case of a
separator including a newline character correctly.
Is it possible to determine reliably the number of lines a minibuffer
window can display maximally for given max-mini-window-height?
Michael.
