It's a completely incorrect behavior always to open executable text files with Text Editor - lots of executable installers are very big (200-500Mb) and opening very big files with Text Editor causes freeze of operating system for several minutes on older computers, try for example to open Unigine_Valley-1.0.run on computer with 1GB RAM or less: http://unigine.com/products/valley/download/

Users can simply click on File->Preferences->Behavior and choose "Run executable text files when they are opened" or "Ask each time" under "Executable Text Files" in File Manager -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1111397 Title: Executable files do not launch in 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix-default-settings/+bug/1111397/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
