At least in Windows, the new frame is selected. The frame focus for typing key sequences thus switches to the *Completions* frame, but the minibuffer of the original frame is still waiting for input. So, you cannot continue to type, to disambiguate the command you want. You would have to move the mouse to the other frame, I guess. Is that what you're complaining about, or is it some other behavior? Is it a Windows-only behavior?
