ivy starts by showing a single line

[brabalan]

Since last update, each time I use ivy I only see a single minibuffer line until I start typing something. The problem is that I don’t know what is currently selected, so I cannot just hit enter to use it.

Here are a couple screenshots.

Is there an option that has changed for the initial minibuffer size?

Can't reproduce. Please update to the latest MELPA version, and test with various Emacs versions if you can.

I’m using the current MELPA version.

I was able to reproduce it with a “minimal” configuration (using package-initialize): this seems to happen only when a second frame has been created.

This is what I did. With this init.el:

(setq emacsd-dir "/Users/schmitta/.emacs.d/")
(setq package-user-dir (concat emacsd-dir "elpa"))
(package-initialize)

I start emacs

% open /Applications/Emacs.app -n --args -Q -l ~/tmp/init.el

I then do M-x ivy-mode, C-x 5 2, M-x and I observe the problem.

Thanks, I was able to reproduce with many frames (I always use just one). I don't know the reason for this strange behavior, I only added a work-around that checks the number of frames.
