Or put the message > above the minibuffer contents. What would you think of that? Growing is not smooth. If you grow to the top, the above line distracts you if you normally read text from top to bottom. If you grow to the bottom, t= he original minibuffer line where you currently type in moves one line up. So= I would prefer to avoid growing the minibuffer whenever possible. If the content wraps, then growing to the bottom as it is right now, is okay. A clean solution would be, to have messages concerning your current input (Mismatched parenthesis, ...) appear at the end of the minibuffer in bracke= ts. Other messages from timers and such go to *Messages* and if you are finished typing in the minibuffer, you will get a (message "New stuff in *Messages*") for exapmle. How does that sound, disregarding implementation details? :) Hannes --=20 3BD8 AF56 11AF 205C 9DB6 B10F 76F1 0634 71A4 DCA0 --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG95TPdvEGNHGk3KARArCdAJ9LIOTJRfOACYICkDQhmsB1SBP4PQCcCVeu VU+z122VAz4GrtK0To6c4aA= =Xe5F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7-- --===============0694031462== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel --===============0694031462==--
