Messages in mini-buffer

[haji-ali]

Hello,

Thanks for this package. I had a similar snippet based on modifying messages but your solution with overlays is much cleaner and even allows displaying the bar in the minibuffer!

I've already suggested a few pull requests, but I found one issue when I have a "constant" message in post-command-hook which I couldn't solve yet. See below for an example:

(minibuffer-with-setup-hook
    (lambda ()
      (add-hook 'post-command-hook
                (lambda () (message "Hello"))
                nil t))
  (read-string "Input: "))

When inputting text, if echo-bar-mode is enabled the point is placed after the message (but before the echo-bar). If echo-bar-mode is disabled, the point is correctly placed before the message and at the end of the input.

Any idea how this can be solved? I can get the correct behavior for this example by not setting the cursor property in echo-bar-set-text but this of course breaks when there's not message at all.
