But please notice the part about a key sequence like ‘C-x {’ and ‘C-x }’
to resize columns like resizing windows.

I meant when *Process List* is displayed on quitting with ‘C-x C-c’
where the minibuffer is active with the prompt “Active processes exist;
kill them and exit anyway?”  It allows switching buffers when an
expected answer is “yes/no”, but doesn't when “y/n”.
