I think this needs more clarification after this long time. The files
affected by this bug have there gear icon on the file missing (that I
was refering to in the startpost as executable files which wasn't
accurate). They look then just like simple text files.

At least Python 2, Python 3 and C files are currently affected by this
bug (but PCManFM is correctly detecting the file types and I got the
hint in the PCManFM tracker that this bug is probably related to an
icon-theme). But I remember to have encountered more file types in the
past.
