Since the minibuffer appears in the echo area, it can conflict with
other uses of the echo area. If an error message or an informative
-message is emitted while the minibuffer is active, the message hides
-the minibuffer for a few seconds, or until you type something; then
-the minibuffer comes back. While the minibuffer is in use, Emacs does
-not echo keystrokes.
