Hi Juri:

I see that setting cursor-face-highlight-nonselected-window to t by
default produces a highlight a bit annoying for some users...

So I think that we may disable it and problem solved.

For your selection from minibuffer I am not sure how you plan to enable
it, but I suppose you will make a minor mode, so instead of setq-local
on every call probably you will prefer to do something like:

(defun minibuffer-select-completion-setup-function ()
    (with-current-buffer standard-output
       (when completions-highlight-face
         (setq-local cursor-face-highlight-nonselected-window t))))

(add-hook 'completion-setup-hook #'minibuffer-select-completion-setup-function)

Is it fine for you?
