Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

When extracting with file-roller, if you leave default destination (don't browse any folder) and just press "extract" button, it won't do anything.
You have to at least change once the destination folder to be able to extract any file.

Also, drag and drop doesn't work at all.

Steps to reproduce (first bug)
- Double click a compressed file.
- Select one folder/file
- Click "extract"
- In the new menu, click "extract". Nothing will happen
- Change to another folder (by default it extracts to $HOME directory)
- Change again to $HOME directory (the same place it was going to extract to at first time)
- Click extract. Now it will work.

Steps to reproduce (drag&drop)
- Double click a compressed file.
- Select one folder/file
- Drag and drop it to the desktop. Nothing will happen

I'm using feisty up to dated. File roller version is 2.17.92
