While testing the changes for bug#17809 I noticed a similar problem for
the *Completions* buffer. It's filled with completions using the
default width of 80 columns while the buffer is not yet displayed.
Later when the buffer is displayed in a window with the frame's full-width
of 160 columns, it leaves too much empty space in the buffer.
As a general solution for such cases it seems the proper order is
to display an empty buffer first, and then fill it with the contents.
