Public bug reported: I cannot open text files (and sometimes other MIME types) from nautilus with gedit (sql, txt, etc.). No applications show in the contextual menu by default. When going to "Open With Other Application", gedit (or "Text Editor") is not even listed. gedit is also selected as my default application in Properties, but when I simply double-click I get a "Cannot Display" error. I believe this was working previously, but perhaps it broke with a recent update. Here are the versions of related packages that I'm running:
