For me, at least, this breaks the Principle of Least Surprise. I also expected the double-click default to be "Edit"; in my case, this meant my .py files were opening with gedit when I double-clicked, but gvim (my default editor in ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf) when I clicked the "Edit" button. I almost reported this as a new bug before realizing it was really a case of this bug.

Most of the time, if I'm looking at my branch in Bazaar Explorer, it's because I want to do something with it -- edit my files, run diffs, merge branches. Double-clicking on doc/index.html to view it in Firefox is something I would usually do in Nautilus, not Bazaar Explorer; when I'm looking at Bazaar Explorer, I'm probably thinking of editing files when I double-click them.

In other words: This Bug Affects Me Too (TM). :-)
