Sorry I havn't been in touch again.  I got tied up with another problem
of switching frames, which I eventually solved by putting

    (redirect-frame-focus frame nil)

into my site-start.el at a critical point.

I say this bug should now be closed, and thanks for raising it.  In
fact, I am closing it with this post.  It is good that the patch for bug
#44502 solved this one too.

Hello,

since some days, I experience the following issue: when I call

  (read-from-minibuffer "Enter something: ")

and select a different window, the minibuffer window automatically gets
re-selected after a short period of time.

I did not yet figure out how to reproduce for emacs -Q; with the default
settings, it is not reproducible there.

With my setup, the issue gets fixed when I do

  (setq minibuffer-follows-selected-frame nil)

I CC Alan hoping 2ecbf4cfae, "Allow minibuffer to stay in its original
frame.  Tidy up this area." is related and he can help so that I can get
around finding a recipe or digging further (well, it's Sunday).

TIA,

Michael.
