If you do not directly interact with the minibuffer in such a situation, it might depend on some minor mode like eldoc-mode enabled (I don't show eldoc in the echo area). > That said, even in this state, mbmb represents a > very big improvement in my life on a big screen. > It is now my standard configuration. You waste cycles updating the menubar, though.

Do you mean we should resize the frame whenever the minibuffer window changes size? That sounds hardly feasible. martin
