After having started Emacs 24.5.1 using the emacs -Q command in Windows
10 x64, the minibuffer is still not displayed correctly:

The bottom-down arrow key is slightly covered, since the space for it is
not sufficient.

Having checked C-h v resize-mini-windows, I get the value
grow-only. Also setting it to 't' doesn't resolve the problem either.

Please tell us your default font, try to increase it (via Options->Set
Default Font, for example) and, if that helps, tell us the minimal
default font needed to make the arrow fully visible.  While this will
probably not enable us to fix the problem we can document it better.

IIRC Jan eventually removed scroll bars from GTK-controlled minibuffer
windows for a similar reason.

Thanks, martin

Hi Nicolas,

Are you still seeing this problem?  If yes, could you take a look at the

More information was requested, but none was given within 4 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reopen the
bug report.
