23.0.60; Dired remote creates local directory through the menus

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

If you open a remote directory in dired and try to create a directory 
through the menus

   Immediate
     Create Directory

a local directory will be created. However if you use the key binding 
(+) it works as expected.

I cannot reproduce it here, both ways work as expected. I'm working on
Ubuntu, but this shouldn't be relevant.

What do you mean with "remote directory", something connected via
ange-ftp, or connected via ssh/plink?

Do you have your own binding for <Immediate> <Create Directory>? Does it
also happen, when you call "emacs -Q"?

Best regards, Michael.

I've changed read-file-name so that it doesn't use a graphical file
dialog if the directory is remote.  Thanks for reporting this bug.
