Public bug reported: When using Nautilus, clicking on files or hitting "enter" won't open the file. Instead, nautilus window closes. This happens whatever the file type is, and whatever application is to be used to view the file.
When launched from a shell, nautilus prints the error message: Gdk-Message: 09:25:04.445: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.
