(Following Stefan's suggestion:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-02/msg00790.html)
It seems that minibuffer completion does not work properly if ECB
package is installed (from MELPA, with : Options | Manage Emacs
Packages), and active.
For example, if I want to strip the trailing withe spaces (M-x
delete-trailing-whitespace), I try
M-x del<TAB>
In the minibuffer I get
Click on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
delete-backward-char delete-blank-lines
[...]
but at this point, if I click on 'delete-trailing-whitespace', I get
Minibuffer is not active for completion
If I try to exit with C-G, it print 'Quit', but does not exit. In short,
whatever I do I cannot exit minibuffer if not quitting Emacs.
In the above, if I change 'M-x del<TAB>' with
M-x dele<TAB>
the completion works,
M-x delete-
and with few other tabs I can complete the command.
I can reproduce this behavior with this minimal init.el file in ~/.emacs.d:
$ cat init.el
;;
;; ECB : Emacs Code browser setup
;;
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/ecb-20140215.114")
(require 'ecb)
;; So that ECB is activated at Emacs startup
(setq ecb-auto-activate t)
;; This is suggested here:
;; http://www.patrickmin.com/linux/tip.php?name=emacs_ecb_startup
(setq ecb-tip-of-the-day nil)
(custom-set-variables '(ecb-options-version "2.40"))
Maybe the issue is in ECB, so I flagged this just for completeness.
TIA,
Angelo.

Hi,
I don't think it's an Emacs bug. I think ECB chokes on the Emacs 25
version of `minibuffer-completion-help' from "minibuffer.el".
Version 25 of `minibuffer-completion-help' now calls
`display-buffer-at-bottom' which appears not to be adapted to the ECB
layout. (ECB divides its frame into special ECB windows on the left or
right side of the frame and one main "edit-area". By advising the
window functions like `display-buffer', the ECB layout is left
undisturbed; window functions only act on the "edit-area". Since
`display-buffer-at-bottom' is not advised, this now fails with Emacs
25.)
As a workaround till this is fixed in ECB I wrote an advice for
`display-buffer-at-bottom', which overrides this defun in the ECB
frame and calls 'display-buffer-use-some-window' instead. A call to
`display-buffer-use-some-window' in other frames will call the
unmodified defun. The Completion buffer takes up the whole
"edit-area", but selecting a completion works for me now.
Toto
(defun display-buffer-at-bottom--display-buffer-at-bottom-around (orig-fun &rest args)
"Bugfix for ECB: cannot use `display-buffer-at-bottom', call
`display-buffer-use-some-window' instead in ECB frame."
(if (and ecb-minor-mode (equal (selected-frame) ecb-frame))
(apply 'display-buffer-use-some-window args)
(apply orig-fun args)))
(advice-add 'display-buffer-at-bottom :around #'display-buffer-at-bottom--display-buffer-at-bottom-around)

The last message here suggests that this is not an Emacs bugs. Does
anyone disagree with that?

I missed to actually close this bug. Closing it now.

It seems this was left open for some reason; closing now.
