When menu-bar/tool-bar aren't displayed don't calculate their size
when determining the size of the mini-buffer.

I doubt that it is TRT, but maybe adjusting the size of
non-mini-buffer window would be better than spilling the diff off into
the mini-buffer

For the calculated difference ratio?
Why, do that when here is no "line" to which the user could insert
text/objects to anyways.

Or, maybe I am misunderstanding the cause of the problem?

I've attached two .png screencaptures showing my Emac with and without menu-bar.
