yes, for me, it is repoducible:

every time i download something in chromium, save something in LibreOffice, want to open something after extraction, this happens to me.

I have the same problem, but only when opening files from Unity "Find Files", not when opening them directoy from Nautilus.
I have however found a workaround that works for me: Uninstall Thunar and it works again, so it's probably something
in Thunar that breaks it.
