Subject: 31.0.50; read-multiple-choice not working
Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2025 12:43:59 +0100

I just tried `run-python` in a single python script and it started
asking for a project

I checked down and the issue seems related with `read-multiple-choice`

Trying the code in the documentation (in an emacs -Q):

```
(read-multiple-choice "Continue connecting?"
                      '((?a "always")
                        (?s "session only")
                        (?n "no")))
```

I just get:

```
Continue connecting?

```

I cannot reproduce this (but my build is not a GTK build).

Can anyone else reproduce?

Hi Eli:

Seems like the issue just went away a few days ago. Feel free to close it.

Best,
Ergus
