Subject: minibuffers windows can no longer explictly be resized
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:04:05 -0400

Package: emacs
Version: 24.0.95

The Elisp manual "Introduction to Minibuffers" says:

    The minibuffer's window is normally a single line[...]. You can
    explicitly resize it temporarily with the window sizing commands; it
    reverts to its normal size when the minibuffer is exited.

In Emacs 23.4, it works to do:

emacs -Q
M-x C-x ^ C-x ^
   (the minibuffer window gets one line taller each time)

But in the current trunk, that has no effect.


(The manual also says:

   You can resize it permanently by using the window sizing commands in
   the frame's other window, when the minibuffer is not active.

I don't know what this means. It doesn't seem to work in any version of
Emacs that I can find.)
