--- Comment #11 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> ---
This is not a bug; this is how Windows' Open action works. When the files in
selection are all associated with the *same* application, the Open option
appears; when the associated default applications are different, the option
disappears. This is normal, and this option would be at best dangerous when the
apps are different - because user would possibly be confused, or something
subtle could happen, if done otherwise (imagine a .bat file among .csv).

Test: right-click a CSV in Explorer, choose Properties, and associate with
LibreOffice. Repeat with ODS and XLS. Then a mixed selection would have an Open
context menu default item. Then associate CSVs with notepad. Then selection
including CSV + either of ODS or XLS would not have that item.

Indeed, Explorer has more complexities; e.g., the number of selected elements
also affects this; too many selected files (>15 on my system) would disable the
Open item.
