For compatibility with minibuffer-message this code was copied

maybe this is due to misconfiguration?

Seems you are right, sorry about that. I've pulled the latest master, rebuilt, and there are no extra spaces. Maybe it was caused by minimess.el in my init dir, IDK.

Here's something else to consider: if the user has resize-mini-windows set to nil, and the user has icomplete-mode on (for instance), the message might not be visible behind the (almost cut off) list of completions.

And even of resize-mini-windows has the default value, the message might appear so far from where the user is looking to be almost unnoticeable.

Should we try to reuse the area on the bottom-left's window mode-line? Like eldoc-minibuffer-message does.
