Bug Description

I can't execute files anymore with Ubuntu 15.04's "Files" program (GUI).
For example, I install IHMC CmapTools to some directory inside ~/.

It installs a file named bin/CmapTools with "sh" shebang.
This file always opens with gedit but it has execute bit on.

However, if I start this from the command line with "./CmapTools", the execution succeeds.
