error "Can’t expand minibuffer to full frame"

Hello,
I try to configure my org mode (Org mode version  ( @ /lhome/lindnfl/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.4.4/)) to ask for a note and also for a specific property when moving a state to WAIT. For that I use

(setq
  org-todo-keywords '((sequence "NEXT" "TODO" "WAIT(w@)" "|" "DONE(d!)" "NODO(n@)"))
  org-log-into-drawer t
)

(defun flo/org-state-change()
  (when (string= org-state "WAIT")
    (org-set-property "DELEGATED_TO" (read-string "Delegate To: "))))

(setq org-after-todo-state-change-hook 'flo/org-state-change)


However, I suspect the state-change-hook and the note when leaving WAIT state conflict:

Error in post-command-hook (org-add-log-note): (error "Can’t expand minibuffer to full frame")

resulting in that I am only asked to set the property, note the note.

What can i do about it? I don't really care in which order I enter the two note / property.

Thanks,
Florian

I seem to recall having a similar conflict.  In my case, I realized that
the calling script "kept going" instead of waiting for the note entry to
be completed.  Therefore, try and make sure that org-log-into-drawer
gets called "last."  I am pretty sure this will require digging into Org
internals to see in what order things go.

Sorry if that's vague, it's been a while since I dealt with this.  And
it may or may not even actually be your problem.
