Hi guys!

I remember a patch be Hrvoje (one of those 'How many times have
you...' ;-)) that fixed bad behavior of C-g pressed in minibuffer.

Everything worked well in several betas: regardless of a region being
selected or not, while you were M-x'ing something pressing C-g *once*
aborted your operation in minibuffer.

I noticed that for some time now C-g behaves differently:

1. 'M-x C-g' beeps, displays 'Quit' and deactivates minibuffer.  Fine.
   I like it.

2. 'M-x foo C-g' beeps, displays 'Quit', and leaves the point in the
   minibuffer just as if nothing happened, displaying 'M-x foo'[1].
   Pressing C-g once again aborts.

*I* don't like it.  Maybe others do, I don't know.  Tell me.

Footnotes: 
[1]  The same thing happens with empty but edited minibuffer, for example
     after 'M-x foo C-k C-g'
