Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2021 12:27:08 +0200

This sentence is in the Info node (emacs) Basic Minibuffer:

"If an error message or an informative message is emitted while the
minibuffer is active, the message hides the minibuffer for a few
seconds, or until you type something; then the minibuffer comes back."

Wasn't this the behavior before Emacs 27.1? If I'm not mistaken, since
27.1, and by default, informational messages don't hide the minibuffer
anymore.

Thanks.
