Do you have in mind that messages are displayed temporarily, and they disappear after a few seconds, though the minibuffer might still be active? Or should messages remain visible for the whole period of time the minibuffer is active? Depending on what one is doing either way could minimize jitter of the minibuffer. So right now I do not have a preference in one or the other direction. If the message does not disappear again, what about multiple messages? Should they accumulate somehow? That could make the minibuffer grow significantly. So I would prefer to have not more than one message being displayed (as usual). Roland
