bug#47969: 28.0.50; Losing minibuffer focus in trying M-x command

I have no good idea here but note one aspect: When a user has the minibuffer on a separate frame and her WM does focus-follows-mouse, moving the mouse between frames will select another window.

Are you sure?

No.


;-)

I just tried it (I enabled focus-follows-mouse in both my WM and Emacs and mouse-autoselect-window in Emacs), and with Emacs 25 (i.e. before 3fdd3bb56c) and with Emacs 28 with my patch, moving the mouse between ESC and x, or even later, does not select another window. The user input is redirected to the minibuffer, even when it is not the currently selected frame by the WM.

What is your value of `focus-follows-mouse'? Also my WM does auto-raise a frame whenever it gets focus.


As I said, its value is t. My WM also auto-raises a frame whenever it gets focus, but in spite of this it is the non-raised frame (the minibuffer one) that gets the user input.


And finally there's Bug#16681.


I wasn't aware of that bug. I just tried it, and I can't reproduce it, it works correctly with and without focus-follows-mode t, so it seems to be fixed.
