To reproduce the issue, please start Emacs with:

    $ emacs -Q

Then put the following form in the *scratch* buffer and evaluate it with
C-x e:

    (let ((f (selected-frame)))
      (with-selected-frame (make-frame)
        (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "other")))
      (select-frame-set-input-focus f)
      (let ((win (get-buffer-window "other" t)))
        (when win
          (with-selected-window win
            (recenter 0)))
        (with-selected-window (minibuffer-window)
          (unwind-protect
              (progn
                (setq-local face-remapping-alist `((default :height 2.0)))
                (insert "hello")
                (read-key))
            (erase-buffer)))))

"hello" is shown in the minibuffer, but it is partially hidden.

For comparison, in Emacs 28.1, "hello" is fully visible.

Can you reproduce this issue, and if possible, could you please restore
the behaviour of Emacs 28.1 and earlier versions for this example?

Thank you and all the best,
Markus
