This can also be reproduced in Emacs 30.

A fix against the release version is attached (fixes for the manual not
included).  But I would have to run it here for a month at least in
order to make sure that it never selects tooltip windows or the like.
So it's by all means for master only.

Thanks, that was swift :-).

Let me say that I stumbled over this only because I was debugging some
problem which turned out to be caused by Transient-Posframe on ttys (see
emacs-devel). I think no one has noticed this not working for years.

Thanks, please install on master.  We can consider backporting it
after Emacs 30.1 is released, if no one complains till then.

I'm yet contemplating the possibility to have 'window-parameter' return
nil when 'ignore-window-parameters' is non-nil.  It should be more
correct in sense of the documentation but might be too invasive on the
other hand.  This will probably take a couple of days.

Pushed to master.  Alternative solutions seem too invasive.
