I previously noted that a dialog appears with "An error occurred while extracting files.". I have now attached a screenshot of the error as well, after choosing the "Extract Here" option of the file you see on the desktop. If you have an Intrepid system, are you able to reproduce the issue as described? Thanks for the triage :-)
