(That one is not about just `C-h c'.)=20 And really the problem is more general than either of these bug descriptions. It is not just about prefix-key echoing being dropped during minibuffer completion. And it is not just about it being dropped during key reading. It is about prefix-key echoing being dropped when expecting some input from the user. The user has hit a prefix key and that is not getting echoed. The user gets no feedback. I recognize that minibuffer reading of input is different, in terms of implementation, from key reading (reading an event). But the user need is the same in these cases: a prefix key should be echoed, so the user knows what key s?he hit and knows what Emacs understood and expects.
