For example, with (setq icomplete-separator "\n"), after M-x a the contents of the minibuffer is displayed as follows: {rp lign propos sm-mode <... other candidates, one on each line> After pressing C-b (or ), the prompt becomes visible, and the minibuffer is displayed as follows: M-x a{rp lign propos sm-mode <... other candidates, one one each line> (Note that the display position of the candidates is not modified, it is still aligned to the left border of the window, except for the first one.) Pressing C-f (or ) returns to the initial display, the prompt becomes invisible again.
