For example, if I want to strip the trailing withe spaces (M-x delete-trailing-whitespace), I try M-x del 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' with M-x dele 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 for completeness. If you think it regards Emacs directly (master), I will open a bug report, if needed. TIA, Angelo.
