That's exactly what happens, except that shrink_mini_window (w) does
*not* resize the miniwindow; it's still 6 lines height. So

at this point, height == 5, WINDOW_TOTAL_LINES (w) == 6.

It's correct. Except that, as shrink_mini_window didn't shrink the
window, it remains at 6 lines.

I'm attaching the trace from inside shrink_mini_window. The call
happens just after I type '7'. At this moment, as said, the minibuffer
contains six lines of completion candidates, and the 7 reduces the
number of candidates so they fit in 5 lines.

If you need me to look into something specific that could help you
pinpoint the problem, just say so.
