Hi Alan,
In recent versions of master (and, I believe the emacs-27 branch) frames steal eachothers' minibuffers.By this I mean: (i) Have two frames open displaying buffers. (ii) On frame F1 do C-x b. This leaves a minibuffer open there. (iii) Move to F2. (iv) Do C-x 8 RET <enter some character>. F1's minibuffer is now on F2. This is bad.
As I told you a few days ago, this is not a new Emacs behavior, it dates back to at least Emacs 24 (and probably earlier, I did not check). IMO this behavior is not problematic: the minibuffer has moved to F2, but when you press RET after choosing the buffer you want, the buffer switch happens in F1, where it should happen. And on a TTY, Emacs even goes back to F1.
