Suppose I want to calculate the sum of two numbers: number-1 is shown in
a buffer on frame-1, number-2 is show in a buffer on frame-2.  I start
typing M-: (+ on frame-1 then I do C-x o, mark number-1, type M-w, C-x o
and C-y to yank number-1 into the minibuffer.  Then I add a space to the
minibuffer, type C-x 5 o to go to frame-2, mark number-2, type M-w and
C-x 5 o to get back to frame-1.

Ever since, that last C-x 5 o got me to the minibuffer window.  With the
proposed change, that C-x 5 o will get me to the window of number-1 and
I have to manually select the minibuffer window to yank number-2 there.
