Bug#222361: --menu and others output selected tag to STDOUT, not STDERR

Hi,

I'm doing bug triage for some old GNOME bugs, is the above still a
problem with zenity in testing or unstable (or experimental if you have
the possibility to try)?

All the examples you mention seem to work. As for using STDERR for
output, that does not longer seem to be the case for dialog?
