can not add/replace files into sub folder

[Andreas E.]

I can not add files using drag&drop to an existing zip-archive opened in file-roller.

1. You have a zip file "archive.zip" which contains a sub-folder.
2. Open the zip file in file-roller.
3. Drag a file from the file manager into the root of the archive. This should be successful.
4. Navigate into the sub-folder.
5. Drag a file from the file manager into the sub-folder. A message pops up: ~"An error occured when adding a file to the archive"

This is similar to bugs +511495 and +181975, but neither the location of the archive nor the added file contain non-ASCII characters or symlinks or network locations (all local). The file extension is "zip" although it used to work with changed extension.

This is very annoying because the more common case is to add/update a file in a sub folder and as work-around I would have to unzip and re-zip again without confusing files and then change the file extension.
