Bug Description
.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).
Workaround: open file from bash
Repeatability: 100%
