Public bug reported: .xml file -> right click -> Properties -> Open With -> Related Applications -> GVim -> "Set as default"
Expected behaviour: GVim shown as the "Default application" (instead of Firefox, as is currently the case) Observed behaviour: Firefox remains the default application The problem only seems to affect .xml files and is unrelated to GVim (if I select "Text editor" instead, Firefox still remains the default).
