[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
The following bug has hit me out of the blue a couple of times.  Trying
to ediff two buffers gets me the crash below:

Presumably, commit c7c154bb5756e0ae71d342c5d8aabf725877f186 is directly
responsible for the crash.  It's triggered by the

(other-window 1 t)

call in `ediff-skip-unsuitable-frames' which selects the tooltip window
which has no minibuffer.  Patch attached, but we probably should decide
whether to consider tooltip windows in `next-window' or `other-window'
at all.  See also

Do you have local changes in window.c?  The line numbers are about 200
lines off the current sources.

> `next-window' or `other-window' at all.

Not sure why.  Don't we envision some applications that would like to
examine tooltip windows?  IOW, that tooltip frames don't have a
minibuffer doesn't necessarily mean we don't want to give window
iterations access to tooltip windows.

Sorry.  The following backtrace is from a fairly recent master.

But the alternative is IMO much worse: there will be _no_ way
whatsoever to reach those windows via next_window.

The default is already not to consider those windows, so why it is a
problem that they are considered when the code explicitly requests to
consider _all_ the windows?

That's about the selected-frame, and tooltip frames should never be
selected.  Right?

How would we handle that suggestion in say `next-window-any-frame'?

Skip tooltip frames, I guess.

But how if we don't want to do it in `next-frame'?  Throwing an error in
`select-window' here would be a strange thing for a user.  Checking
whether the returned frame is a tooltip frame in `next-window-any-frame'
means any Lisp code that does not do something similar can crash Emacs.

I don't think I understand what's bothering you.  The idea is simple:
if you get a frame that's a tooltip frame, ask for another one.

> Checking whether the returned frame is a tooltip frame in

Crash how?

In any case, the idea that something applications might forget to do
would mean we must push the checks to lower levels sounds wrong to me.
Lower levels should be free from application-level constraints, so
that if someone wants to write code which breaks those constraints,
he/she could do that.  That those who do it must know what they are
doing is a truism; restricting legitimate uses for fear of
illegitimate ones is punishing the innocent for fear of the evil --
that's the problem with TSA, for example.

Like the below, I suppose.  The idea is simple ...

(defun next-window-any-frame ()
  "Select the next window, regardless of which frame it is on."
  (interactive)
  (catch 'failed
    (let ((selected (selected-window))
	  (next (next-window nil nil 0)))
      (while (window-tooltip-p next)
	(setq next (next-window next nil 0))
	(when (eq next selected)
	  (throw 'failed nil)))

      (select-window next)
      (select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame)))))

... but we don't even have `window-tooltip-p' yet.

As in my report.  These were the only times I've been losing Emacs
sessions in the past years.

We still have no concept for whether and where we would refuse
selecting a tooltip window - in `select-window', select_window,
`select-frame', wherever we set selected_window ...

Something like that, yes.

It's a one-liner, isn't it?  I'm not even sure we need a function for
that, but I won't object adding one.

If we didn't fix that yet, let's fix it ASAP.

How is that relevant to the present discussion?

Then let's develop that concept.  But again, how is this relevant to
the issue at hand?

What would you do instead?

I don't know what TSA is and its relevance to Emacs.  But when Basil
proposed to add a function called `marker-list' you answered

  Just reading the markers probably won't but do you really believe this
  is the last word?  How many hours will it take for someone to ask for
  a primitive to set the C-level markers as well, or request the ability
  to map a function over all the markers?  If it's really needed, sure,
  let's do it.  But is it?  Or are we doing that just because we can?

which ended up with Bug#35536 marked as wontifx.  For me this is a
classic example of "punishing the innocent for fear of the evil".

Because in my crash scenario (other-window 1 t) selects the tooltip
window.

The above was about _adding_ an interface.  By contrast, here we are
talking about an interface that existed for eons.  That makes the
world of difference for me.

OK, then solving this issue will solve that as well, I guess.

Having just managed to "solve this issue" here in a more or less elegant
way, Alan beat me to it with a new twist.  To reproduce with emacs -Q do

(custom-set-variables
 '(tooltip-reuse-hidden-frame t)
 '(x-gtk-use-system-tooltips nil))

show a tooltip (by moving the mouse over the mode line for example) and
then type C-h f followed by C-g.  Here this gets me

I can easily sidestep this in read_minibuf_unwind via

  FOR_EACH_FRAME (frames, exp_MB_frame)
    {
      f = XFRAME (exp_MB_frame);
      if (!FRAME_TOOLTIP_P (f))

	      && EQ (w->contents, nth_minibuffer (minibuf_level)))
	    goto found;
	}
    }

but the underlying issue remains: Not every frame has a minibuffer
window.

OK.  There's a long-standing comment to the contrary in
choose_minibuf_frame (src/minibuf.c):

      /* I don't think that any frames may validly have a null
       * minibuffer window anymore.  */

, so it looks like that comment is no longer valid.  It needs
changing/removing and the code it annotates seems to want fixing.  There
might well be other places in the earlier part of minibuf.c that assume
a non-null ->minibuffer_window.

Either the ->minibuffer_window of tootip frames must be given a sensible
non-null value (is this practicable and sensible?), or the code needs
fixing to not assume it.

That's quite an involved thread.  I've read through it, but can't
remember seeing a firm decision on how to fix the problem, or even if it
was fixed then.

The current problem in minibuf.c seems to be that we assume
f->minibuffer_window to be non-nil in several (~6) places, rather than
checking it.

In most of these places, if we detect NILP (f->m_w), we can simply skip
the action we were intending to take.  This is certainly the case in the
bit that gave you the trouble in read_minibuf_unwind, where we're
stepping through all frames looking for the expired minibuffer.

It might well be that we never call do_switch_frame to a tool-tip frame,
for example.  Do you know if this is the case?  This could save some
checking code.

So, where do we go from here?  I'm quite willing to make these changes
to minibuf.c.  Would that be OK with everybody else?

It wasn't fixed then.

We assume that it is a live window.

The most secure way is to skip the action whenever f->minibuffer_window
fails the WINDOW_LIVE_P check.

I wrote some code that avoids that a tooltip window ever gets selected
and do_switch_frame returns silently when asked to switch to a tooltip
frame.  But I wouldn't rely on that - the display engine might still try
to select a tooltip window for some reason.

It would be OK with me (and should fix Bug#47774 too).  And please look
into Bug#47781 next.

Not with me, FWIW.  The minibuffer was perfectly functional before commit 
2ecbf4cfae.  Backward incompatible changes and bugs were introduced since 
then.  The current state of affairs is rather sad; as you said, it's the 
first time in several years that you've been losing Emacs sessions. 
That's quite a high price for a small feature that nobody requested.

Indeed, yes.

Could you please look at my patch (below).  It seems to fix the bug you
gave a recipe for a couple of posts back.  I'm hoping it can be
committed as it is.

OK.
