(Following Stefan's suggestion:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-02/msg00790.html)
It seems that minibuffer completion does not work properly if ECB
package is installed (from MELPA, with : Options | Manage Emacs
Packages), and active.
For example, if I want to strip the trailing withe spaces (M-x
delete-trailing-whitespace), I try
M-x del<TAB>
In the minibuffer I get
Click on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
delete-backward-char delete-blank-lines
[...]
but at this point, if I click on 'delete-trailing-whitespace', I get
Minibuffer is not active for completion
If I try to exit with C-G, it print 'Quit', but does not exit. In short,
whatever I do I cannot exit minibuffer if not quitting Emacs.
In the above, if I change 'M-x del<TAB>' with
M-x dele<TAB>
the completion works,
M-x delete-
and with few other tabs I can complete the command.
I can reproduce this behavior with this minimal init.el file in ~/.emacs.d:
$ cat init.el
;;
;; ECB : Emacs Code browser setup
;;
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/ecb-20140215.114")
(require 'ecb)
;; So that ECB is activated at Emacs startup
(setq ecb-auto-activate t)
;; This is suggested here:
;; http://www.patrickmin.com/linux/tip.php?name=emacs_ecb_startup
(setq ecb-tip-of-the-day nil)
(custom-set-variables '(ecb-options-version "2.40"))
Maybe the issue is in ECB, so I flagged this just for completeness.
TIA,
Angelo.

I missed to actually close this bug. Closing it now.
