    I suggest that always the minibuffer of the current frame shall be used,
    so that the command can be seen and edited.

I believe that is what Emacs does.

    If i type a command like "C-x C-f filename" the filename is then often
    displayed and could be edited in the minibuffer of some hidden frame.

I cannot investigate a bug which "could happen" in circumstances
not precisely specified.

Please tell me one way to make this happen--that is the only way I can
investigate it.
