Thanks for the report.  I've just tried to merge this with the following
one.

> 4. M-x (The bug appears, it is not possible to write in the minibuffer)

The crucial part is the

  (dolist (frame (frame-list))
    (with-selected-frame frame

setting the cursor is not necessary to reproduce it.  Since the bug does
not appear with Emacs 27, this could be due to Alan's minibuffer window
changes.

Right but as soon as I make another frame and type M-x I get

completing-read-default: Command attempted to use minibuffer while in minibuffer

so I'm at the same time in the active minibuffer and a normal buffer.
