Subject: bug#75093: 31.0.50; Incorrent pointer position with minibuffer messages

If my memory is not making things up right now, there might be situations where these kind of messages appear at the same time as you type. Which leads to a situation where characters are typed not at the current visual position of the cursor.

But i don't remember how exactly to reproduce this.
