Then type eg. M-x ABC. Now the minibuffer shows "M-x ABC" as expected. But if you type the Danish character A-ring (a capital A with a ring above) everything seems to disappear from the minibuffer. I am sorry to say that I don't know how to input A-ring without having a Danish keyboard. The reason that the minibuffer contents disappear must be some kind of scrolling, because hitting left-arrow will make the minibuffer show the expected contents, including the A-ring. If you make the same experiment with scroll-conservatively set to 0, the minibuffer contents does not disappear, but it scrolls down slightly when A-ring is typed; that character must somehow be a bit to high. The behaviour described above does not occur with emacs 21; here you only get the small scroll even with a non-zero value of scroll-conservatively.
