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.

In short, > whatever I do I cannot exit minibuffer if not quitting Emacs. 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) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
