I had some problem with eldoc-mode after the latest greater bunch of
changes.  There was some bold face that caused my echo area occupy two
lines occasionally.  IIRC customizing `eldoc-highlight-function-argument'
and/or `eldoc-highlight-unsupplied-argument' to something non-bold
solved the problem for me.
