When this happens, not even C-g or C-] help?

Are you able to select the minibuffer, e.g. with "C-x o" one or more
times, or by clicking the mouse inside the mini-window?  If you do
succeed to enter the minibuffer, can you _then_ get rid of the prompt
by either answering y/n or by C-g or C-] ?

Thanks.
