This is really unfortunate, because the users have been asking,
repeatedly, for a (popup-based) interface for completion, "M-x", and
other features. And the overlay-based approach has had known problems
and limitations for years.
As we can see, posframe is kind of working okay for some users:

But somewhat ironically, it only mostly works on non-free OSes (GNOME is
the most popular Free DE still).

Is there anything more I can do to facilitate fixing this? Helping you
set up a VM, or renting one in the Cloud, for instance.
So far my research says that we're maybe doing something unusual.
Because there are few hits mentioning any problems with "child windows
resize" on Goog, but something similar also comes up in relation to X
Server implementations for MS Windows:
https://superuser.com/questions/300555/problem-with-resizing-subwindows-in-eclipse-xming-combination
https://github.com/sebastiencs/company-box/issues/76#event-2935078315
The latter is a report on somewhat similar problem our users have with
childframe-based packages (company-box and company-posframe) when using
VcXsrv or Xming. In this environment, resizing happens, but with heavy
graphical artefacts. Fixed by switching to "MobaXTerm", apparently.
Alternatively, if we can't make resizing child frames work reliably,
maybe prohibit it on the API level? And then work on making sure that
deleting and re-creating a new child frame, and showing a buffer there,
is fast enough.
