Helm uses existing buffer instead of minibuffer expanding from bottom

[l7ssha]

Hello, I didnt find answer in google (or just I'm ad at searching). In my environment helm to provide completions use existing buffer and dont create minibuffer expanding from bottom - I dont want this behaviour.

EDIT: It works like that only when there are open 2+ buffer at once. Like neotree and clojure repl

Latest emacs, latest helm, config: init.el
Arch Linux, 4.16.5-1-ARCH, Openbox WM

Helm doesn't display its candidates in minibuffer and will never do this, you will find several variables to display helm candidates in different windows or in separate frame.

I've used wrong words. I want all time this behavior. Completion displayed in expanded from bottom buffer. It works like that only when one buffer is opened, when there are 2 ore more, completion is displayed in existing buffer like in first message.

EDIT: This is only solution I found working. TO CLOSE.

See `helm-always-two-windows` or `helm-split-window-inside-p`.
