Public bug reported:
Release: 16.10
Package: nautilus, 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3.1
Expected behaviour:
1. Open Files
2. Right-click on icon, move to "Open with …", and pick suitable app from an
immediate list
3. File opens in selected application.
This was standard behaviour on 16.04, and is expected behaviour from
Windows and Mac OS.
Actual behaviour:
1. Open Files
2. Right-click on icon, note lack of "Open with …" option, and select "Open
With Other Application"
3. "Select Application" window opens instead of immediate list. Window contains
long list
4. Scroll down list until application appears, select it, and file opens in
selected application.
This is a usability regression. No explanation is given why this is
gone, or how to recover the (expected, standard, rational) previous
behaviour.
