In the scratch buffer of emacs -Q, type
(read-multiple-choice "Question" '((?y "yes") (?n "no")))
then click, on the menu bar, "Lisp-Interaction -> Evaluate and Print".
As expected, I see a dialog box.
Now repeat the same using the long-form style:
(read-multiple-choice "Question" '((?y "yes") (?n "no")) nil nil t)
Then I get a minibuffer query, but I would expect a dialog box in the
case as well.
As a more concrete example, when clicking the "File -> Close" menu item
in a modified buffer, I would expect a to always get a dialog box for
the "buffer modified, kill anyway?" question. (assuming of course
use-dialog-box is t). Currently, one gets a minibuffer query by
default. This change from mouse interaction to keyboard interaction
seems unexpected to me.
