I use a standalone minibuffer frame.
If I set the alpha frame parameter for some frame to (alpha 100 . 80),
then whenever that frame is inactive it becomes 20% transparent, as
intended. However, when the minibuffer becomes active the alpha frame
flashes. And it flashes again for each char I type or delete in the
minibuffer. This renders the alpha feature useless.
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2010-09-20 on 3249CTO
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600

Is this problem still present in Emacs 24.3?

Yes, and in a 24.4 build from 2014-02-07. It makes frame
parameter `alpha' unusable for a setup that has a standalone
minibuffer frame (mine, at least).

When I start Emacs 24.5.50.1 with the -Q option and load a file with the
following contents
(setq default-frame-alist '((minibuffer . nil)))
(set-frame-parameter nil 'alpha (cons 100 80))
and I now type C-h f in the "alpha frame", I can indeed see "the alpha
frame flash (at least on Windows)". Since I cannot reproduce this
flashing with a build of Emacs 25.3.50.1, I'm marking this bug as done.
Thanks for the report, martin
