If I open a second frame, then do C-x C-f in one of them and press tab
so that the window is split and I get a *Completions* buffer in one
frame, and when I then select the second frame and do a C-x C-f there,
I don't get another *Completions* buffer there, but an error message
that appears in the first frame:
"Command attempted to use minibuffer while in minibuffer"
No, that's definitely no bug! There is in the first frame minibuffer
waiting for your input. And since there is only one such thing, yet,
you can't use it for something different somewhere else.
I think too it would be a nice enhancement if every frame would have
its own minibuffer. I remember that from time to time I had to use more
than one Emacs running to get things together for an input to
minibuffer (could have sorted this out in scratch buffer -- but then I
would have needed to remember how I made minibuffer awaiting my input
...)
