Re-grow upon which event?  If you do nothing, the message from "C-x C-e"
stays displayed indefinitely.

If you mean why it doesn't re-grow upon some keystroke (which removes
the message), I guess we are lacking a call to
resize_echo_area_exactly in some place.

Regardless, I think keeping the prompt visible is a better behavior.
And yes, we should probably document this caveat, although I cannot
imagine what application would like the current behavior.

Hope you've already fixed it.

Thanks.
