Subject: bug#79472: [PATCH] Fix minibuffer-nonselected-mode when using recursive minibuffers
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 11:07:22 -0700

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Tags: patch


When recursive minibuffers are enabled and minibuffer window restoration
is disabled, minibuffer-nonselected-mode fails to "unhighlight" the
minibuffer prompt. The fix is to use window-state-change-functions
instead of window window-selection-change-functions.

To reproduce:

1. Run: emacs -Q --eval '(setopt enable-recursive-minibuffers t read-minibuffer-restore-windows nil)'
2. M-x
3. C-x o
4. M-x
5. C-g

At this point (once the "Quit" message disappears) you'll be left at a
focused M-x prompt that's highlighted as if it were unfocused.
