windmove: moving back to minibuffer

[Oliver Scholz]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

When using windmove to leave the minibuffer windows it is not
possible to move back.

Recipe to reproduce the bug starting with emacs -q --no-site-file:

Eval this expression:

(progn (windmove-default-keybindings)
       (yes-or-no-p "test"))

Then type <shift>-up in order to move point to the window above the
minibuffer. Then type <shift>-down in order to move back ==>

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No window down from selected window")
  signal(error ("No window down from selected window"))
  error("No window %s from selected window" down)
  windmove-do-window-select(down nil)
  windmove-down(nil)
  call-interactively(windmove-down)
  yes-or-no-p("test")
  (progn (windmove-default-keybindings) (yes-or-no-p "test"))
  eval((progn (windmove-default-keybindings) (yes-or-no-p "test")))
  eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)
