The version above invokes infinite recursion so I would rather recommend
something like the following for affected users (to avoid spamming this 
bug report with other versions here is the link to the corresponding 
issue on selectrums side: https://github.com/raxod502/selectrum/issues/169

(define-advice fit-frame-to-buffer (:around (f &rest args) 
dont-skip-ws-for-mini-frame)
  (cl-letf* ((orig (symbol-function #'window-text-pixel-size))
            ((symbol-function #'window-text-pixel-size)
             (lambda (win from to &rest args)
               (apply orig
                      (append (list win from
                                    (if (and (window-minibuffer-p win)
                                             (frame-root-window-p win)
                                             (eq t to))
                                        nil
                                      to)
                                    args))))))
    (apply f args)))
