Remote text files are always treated as executable

[David Baucum]

Binary package hint: nautilus

If a remote file system is mounted to the local tree, and a text file on that remote system is double-clicked it is treated as an executable text-file, even if the executable bit is off.
Specifically, I have mounted my web-server locally using sshfs. If I double-click any of the .html or .php files to open them I am presented with a box that reads, "Do you want to run Filename or display its contents? Filename is an executable file." These files are set as -rw-r--r--. I get the same thing on text files at work where I have our Solaris servers mounted locally.

Oops. I failed to mention I am running Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.

thank you for your bug report, what filesystem do you use? do you have the issue if you mount it using nautilus rather than sshfs as you do now?
