(That was over 10 years ago.)
In etc/NEWS for Emacs 27.1, we read:
*** When the minibuffer is active, echo-area messages are displayed at
the end of the minibuffer instead of hiding the minibuffer by the echo
area display. The new user option 'minibuffer-message-clear-timeout'
controls how messages displayed in this situation are removed from the
minibuffer.
So I guess that has fixed the above problem? Are you still able to
reproduce it using Emacs 27.1?
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
