Bug Description

version of the package file-roller: 3.32.1-1 on Ubuntu 19.04

If I right click on the .zip file and choose "extract here" from the context menu, then the archieve content is extracted into a newly created folder, with the same name as the zip file.
The expected behavior would be extracting the content into the folder where the archieve is located.

Note this does NOT occur for tar.xz archieves, which are correctly extracted into the current folder instead.

Thank you for your bug report. The behaviour seems a bit different, for a .xz archive it will create a folder only if there are more than 1 file to extract, is that the case of your example?
The issue would be worth reporting upstream on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues
