1. emacs -Q
2. Type `thre threee'
3. Type `C-x 2' twice.  Now the frame has three windows stacked
   vertically, in the lowest window (window-height) returns 18, in each
   of the two upper windows (window-height) returns 9.
4. Make either of the two upper windows the selected window, and in that
   window make the text typed in step 2 an "active region" (select with
   the mouse or type `C-a C-SPC C-e').
5. Type `M-$' 
=> The selected window splits vertically, in the lower one of these,
   `thre' is highlighted, the upper window contains a two-line high
   *Choices* buffer displaying 10 corrections for `thre'.
6. Type `SPC'
=> In the lower window now `threee' is highlighted, the *Choices*
   buffer in the upper window displays one empty line, and is
   unscrollable.
   
If at step 4 the window with (window-height) 18 is selected, then step 5
is the same, but in step 6, the *Choices* buffer is five lines high and
shows 28 alternatives for `threee'.
