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

Hi everyone, this is the first time I report a bug.
In order to reproduce the bug I did exactly the following:
1. Start emacs: emacs -Q
2. Paste the following code in the scratch buffer:
(defvar box-cursor t)

(defun test/set-cursor()
  "Set cursor in all frames depending on the active state."
  (interactive)
  (dolist (frame (frame-list))
    (with-selected-frame frame
      (if box-cursor
          (progn
            (modify-frame-parameters
             frame (list (cons 'cursor-type 'box)))
            (modify-frame-parameters
             frame (list (cons 'cursor-color "#00A9FE"))))
        (progn
          (modify-frame-parameters
           frame (list (cons 'cursor-type 'hbar)))
          (modify-frame-parameters
           frame (list (cons 'cursor-color "green")))
          )))))

(defun test/enter-minibuffer()
  (setq box-cursor nil)
  (test/set-cursor))

(defun test/exit-minibuffer()
  (setq box-cursor t)
  (test/set-cursor))


(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook #'test/enter-minibuffer)
(add-hook 'minibuffer-exit-hook #'test/exit-minibuffer)

(server-start)
(make-frame)

;; Call M-x (execute-extended-command) and you will see:
;; It is not possible to write in the minibuffer
;; Killing the previously created frame seems to solve the issue.

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

Note:
As soon as the new frame is destroyed, it is possible again to write in the
minibuffer.
