Did you also try with a disabled toolbar?

Does it flicker/resize when you enter the minibuffer or when you leave
it?

change_frame_size_1 is better, where it does block_input () so you avoid
delayed and not-changing-anything calls.

In all these calls can you see something in newheight that reflects the
