Subject: | bug#43572: Feature request: make it possible to choose whether the first lines of the minibuffer should be displayed instead of the last ones |

User-agent: | Alpine 2.22 (NEB 394 2020-01-19) |
To illustrate the need for this feature, I attach four screenshots taken under the exact same conditions.
- "vanilla.png" is what a user would see without changing any default (after pressing TAB to display the completion candidates): the prompt, their input, and completion candidates in a *Completions* buffer above the minibuffer
- "master-icomplete-vertical-after-tab.png" is what a user would see with icomplete-mode activated and (setq icomplete-separator "\n") after having completed the last directory name with a TAB: the prompt and their input is completely hidden
- "master-icomplete-vertical-after-tab-tab.png" is what a user would see after pressing TAB a second time; note the "ng/" before point, which was hidden after pressing TAB for the first time and is now visible again
- "patched-icomplete-vertical.png" is what a user would see with the proposed patch
