Select input method `korean-symbol': C-u C-\ korean-symbol RET 2. In the buffer, enter the 4 characters f r a c => Emacs reserves 2 lines for the echo area, while only one is necessary My guess is that this is due to var-width fonts -- if I define a input method producing ASCII chars, this annoyance does not happen: (quail-define-package "test" "test" "test" t) (quail-define-rules ("ab" "abc")) 1. Select input method `test': C-u C-\ test RET 2. In the buffer, enter the 2 characters a b => Emacs correctly only reserves 1 lines for the echo area - Christoph
