Perhaps you express that in an enigmatic manner.

There is nothing visible in that alist allowing me to experience what
you mentioned.

Hide Minibuffer Frame Alist:
Repeat:
INS DEL Parameter: width
            Value: 80
INS DEL Parameter: height
            Value: 2
INS
    State : STANDARD.
   Alist of parameters for the initial minibuffer frame. Hide
   This is the minibuffer frame created if ‘initial-frame-alist’
   calls for a frame without a minibuffer.  The parameters specified
   here supersede those given in ‘default-frame-alist’, for the
   initial minibuffer frame.
   
   You can set this in your init file; for example,
   
    (setq minibuffer-frame-alist
          '((top . 1) (left . 1) (width . 80) (height . 2)))
   
   It is not necessary to include (minibuffer . only); that is
   appended when the minibuffer frame is created.
