You might file a bug requesting that the default of that check box be
changed, and certainly if some other cause can be identified that would
constitute a bug, but for now, this report does not contain any
actionable intel.
I will reformat this bug into a meta bug so it can continue to serve as
a target for duplicates and serve as a guide.

Status: Invalid => Won't Fix
** Summary changed:

+ Folders opened by wrong application
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: file-roller
+ Right clicking on a folder and choosing open with, then selecting
