Reproduce: 1. download a ZIP archive that includes files and folders in the root (e.g. https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v12.0.0/electron-v12.0.0-linux-x64.zip) 2. within nautilus right-click on the archive and select "Extract Here" 3. check the extracted folder, you will see that only the files have been extracted, the folders are missing This is an issue that was recently introduced, as this used to work a while ago on Ubuntu 20.04.
