Ctrl-g wont affect minibuffer if i click to another window.

Ctrl-g wont affect minibuffer if i click to another window.

[Alexandros Prekates]

Doing C-c C-l on a link i see in the minibuffer the link part.
Now giving C-g i see Quit and the minibuffer is cleared. 

But if i click to another window then irrespecive of clicking back 
to the initial window or not C-g will display Quit but then
i am stack seeing the link part and the only way out is
to confirm the link part and the subsequent description part.

So it seems that C-g cant cancel a command that i started.
How can i cancel it in the case i click another window?

System:
GNU Emacs 27.1 
Distro: Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera)

Also: ESC ESC ESC (`keyboard-escape-quit').  Then you don't even need to
get back to the minibuffer.
