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

In my experience, customizing read-minibuffer-restore-windows to nil
works mostly fine, thanks for the option. The only problem I've
personally encountered is in the following case:

emacs -q:

(setq read-minibuffer-restore-windows nil)
M-x, to open a minibuffer
C-h b, to display a help buffer from this minibuffer
C-g, to quit the minibuffer
C-x C-o, to select the window showing the help buffer
q, (quit-window) will select the inactive minibuffer window

Best regards.

I'm unable to reproduce this on the current trunk.

It looks like you're running an older build (and that revision doesn't
seem to be present in the Emacs git repo).  Can you try updating and
seeing whether you can still see this problem?

It's not entirely obvious that an inactive minibuffer window is selected
because the point is not immediately visible. Perhaps try to press C-n
at the end of the recipe, which makes the point visible, and see that
the mini-window is indeed selected.

I could reproduce the recipe on the current master as well, with the
following build details:

I can reproduce in today's master, but "C-x C-o" should be "C-x o",
right?

C-x o, supposedly.

I checked in a fix.  Please try again with current master.
