My new emacs is scrolling minibuffer text so that I can't see simple stuff, like when emacs asks if I want to save changes to a file before exiting.
Doing this both in a mac window or in Terminal.
Using emacs 25.0.50, built for mac using homebrew. Installed ember-mode and elpa for packages, but that's about it.
Haven't found help via google or SO ... perhaps my search-fu is weak today. Any advice out there on how to debug / fix?
Are you using a development snapshot of Emacs? If so, perhaps you were hit by Emacs bug #21403, which makes the prompt for y-or-n-p invisible.
Perhaps the scroll variable has been set. Unset it as following in your init.el file:
(setq minibuffer-scroll-window nil)
which is the default anyway.
