Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I did some research and found this problem affects only file on a Samba share (at least for me). Also, I tried opening such files while in guest mode and everything worked. My guess is, this is related to some left-over settings from previous installations... I removed settings and temp files for totem and samba (those in my home directory), and solved the problem...

Gaurav Parashar,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-life on April 25,2019.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported release of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
