Please describe the recipe to get this result starting from > "emacs -Q", so that I could look into it. > Well, it's easy to reproduce, but it depends on the size of the font used in the mini-window and the width of your Emacs frame, so I'm not sure it's possible to create a step-by-step recipe. The simplest recipe I can think of is: 1. emacs -Q 2. create a long directory name (in your home directory, say) 3. C-x C-f, and enter the name of that directory, but do not press RET 4. narrow the Emacs frame until you see the cursor blinking in the right fringe 5. M-: (setq max-mini-window-height 1) 6. M-x icomplete-mode 7. C-x C-f, and enter the name of the long directory again
