You interpreted correctly.  Yes, seems indeed the issue has disappeared.

AFAIR the problem had been that the first line had been hidden when
resizing the mini window, which means it must not have been a bug in
icomplete, rather a display thing.  [ The next time I'll also attach a
screen shot, that would make things simpler. ]

Good - closing.

Thanks,

Michael.

Hello,

In emacs -Q, eval

  (setq icomplete-separator "\n")

and do

  M-x icomplete-mode <return>

Then, e.g.

  M-x m

The icomplete minibuffer prompt is invisible (bug).

But you see that it's "there" when you hit <left>.  And changing the
value of `resize-mini-windows' to nil makes the issue disappear - so I
think this is caused by a problem in the display code.

Thanks in advance,

Michael.
