menu_interactive_choice() divides the timeout value by 10 before passing it to cli_readline_into_buffer().
For distro-boot, the "timeout" variable in the boot script should specify the time in _seconds_ to wait for keyboard input before booting the default menu entry. Due to the division, "timeout 50" actually wait for only 5 seconds instead of 50. What is worse, "timeout 5" never breaks because "m->timeout / 10" is zero, which means no timeout. For CONFIG_MENU_SHOW case, menu_show() should also take the timeout value in seconds because its default comes from CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. The "division by 10" was introduced by commit 8594753ba0a7 ("menu: only timeout when menu is displayed"). Its log claimed "fixed", but to me, it rather looks the root cause of the problem.
