Another reason why this urgently needs to be fixed using
'display-buffer-below-selected' with 'window-height' is that
for example visiting a gpg file that fails to decrypt displays
the *Backtrace* buffer with (file-error "Opening input file" "Can't decrypt"
in another window that hides another essential buffer *Error*
(with explanation of the error raised while decrypting)
displayed in the same window.  But using 'display-buffer-below-selected'
both essential buffers will be displayed in separate windows.
