eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p, as I mentiond at least 3 times in this
thread.

I think you are still confusing M-x eldoc and M-x eldoc-doc-buffer,
which are two different commands. For the record, both commands and
surrounding functionality can and probably will be improved.

This is not true in the generality of ElDoc usage, of course: LSP users
are confronted with very verbose at-point documentation. And a window
and buffer in Emacs are not the same thing, something I assumed you
knew.

I told you at least once that it's rude to accuse other people of not
reading your emails. It's a lie and a disrespect for the precious time
they invest in reading them and replying to them as they see fit. Not
to mention wholly unproductive. Because I don't have time for this, I'm
putting you in my ignore list, joined by very few, if anyone. So now
you'll _know_ that I won't be reading what you write, and the reason why
I won't.
