Hi,
in Selectrum we are using an overlay after-string to display completion
candidates within the minibuffer. We also want to truncate-lines to
prevent wrapping for long lines. When using:
;; emacs -Q
(setq resize-mini-windows t)
(minibuffer-with-setup-hook
(lambda ()
(setq-local truncate-lines t)
(let ((ov (make-overlay (point-max) (point-max)))
(minibuf-after-string " \nOne\nTwo\nThree"))
(put-text-property 0 1 'cursor t minibuf-after-string)
(overlay-put ov 'after-string minibuf-after-string)))
(read-string ":"))
the mini window will not resize but when commenting out the setting for
truncate-lines it resizes appropriately.

You are welcome.
