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.

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
