thank you for your bug report, do you still get the issue using the new intrepid version?

[Hew (hew)]

Looks like this has been fixed in g-s-m 2.23.5-0ubuntu1 :-). I now get bug #248683 instead, but that was expected.

[Hew (hew)]

Of course I mean file-roller 2.23.5-0ubuntu1 , not g-s-m.

[Hew (hew)]

Bah this is embarrassing. Fixed in file-roller 2.23.4-0ubuntu1. Sorry for the spam.
