See the discussion at [email protected] with the same Subject line. It was suggested that I also file a bug for this: > Drew, could you report this as a bug to [email protected]? > I understand that you started a discussion in emacs-devel to reach > a wider audience, but unless it is not in the bug database, it will > remain unfixed, and these misleading names have bitten me too. So this is that bug report. Please rename these options from using `mini-' to something that indicates what they act on. Suggestions: * Rename `resize-mini-windows' to `minibuffer-echo-area-resize'. * Rename `max-mini-window-height' to `minibuffer-echo-area-max-height'. Please also change the doc strings to not mention `mini-windows', which are not defined, in any case. Make it clear that these act on the minibuffer and echo area.
