Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Given the following minimal init file:
```
;; min-init.el
(require 'tab-bar)
(tab-bar-mode)
(add-to-list 'tab-bar-format 'tab-bar-format-global 'append)
(display-time-mode -1)
```

I do the following:
```
emacs -Q --daemon --load min-init.el
```

Then when I start emacsclient in the terminal with `emacsclient -t`, the
minibuffer won't work at all. When I don't do this via the server,
e.g. removing `--daemon` from the above invocation, the minibuffer works
fine.

Let me try to describe what I mean when I say that the minibuffer
doesn't work. `M-x` puts the cursor at the beginning of the minibuffer
(no "M-x" text). Typing any key says that the key is not defined. `C-g`
doesn't work either.

Thanks for the bug report.  My guess is that it's related
to forcing switching frame focus to the active minibuffer.
'tab-bar-format-global' calls 'format-mode-line' that
on a tty frame forces focus to the initial daemon frame.
