Description
See https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/11757 for a motivating issue.
I spent a little time hacking around with the min_rows attribute of MultiColumnCompletionsMenu but as far as I can see that attribute doesn't actually control the height of the completions menu.
If anyone has any pointers for where to start on this I'd be very happy to work more on this.

Research direction
Start with the MultiColumnCompletionsMenu entry point and compare the min_rows behavior described here with the motivating IPython issue #11757. Trace how the completions menu height is determined; done means the maximum number of rows is configurable and the setting visibly controls the menu height.
