Comment #1 on issue 350 by jeffwheeler: Usability: minibuffer distanced from status bar makes suggested completions difficult to read
http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/detail?id=350
Vim (not --as=vim) places everything at the bottom of the screen, and my impression from your report is that Emacs does the same thing?
I agree that the minibuffer should be placed on the bottom. (Placing it by the window, but moving the completions, seems like a harder and less usable solution.)
