Try to make the frame as small as possible with '(set-frame-height nil 1)'

Do you get a completions list in minibuffer?

The problem is that with ivy completions in minibuffer is the only way
to see possible completions.

Ivy overrides the 'max-mini-window-height' variable with the
'ivy-height' variable, but in some cases mini window can't occupy that
many lines.
