This is at least medium: - A bug that has a moderate impact on a core application. - A usability issue that does not limit the functionality of a core application.

When right-clicking on a file in Nautilus, the context menu used to have a submenu, right next to the "open with <default>" option, called "open with...", where the items in the submenu were the most common applications. Half of the times I open files with some of those (but the other half I do open the same file with the default application, so changing the default is not good enough for me, also I don't like to do that). So, having the submenu was very useful to me (and millions of other users). After upgrading to 18.10 and now 19.10, that submenu is gone. Now you have to click on "open with another application", wait for a completely separate, bloated popup to load and show up somewhere else, and then select the application to open the file with. This looks like it can only have been done by design, so I guess it's yet another idiotic decision made by the lunatics that maintain Nautilus, who clearly don't give two minutes of thought to what they are doing. This is ridiculous and has to be reverted. Since it has been proven that upstream Gnome developers can't be trusted to have any common sense and hence are very unlikely to be inclined to fix this, if Ubuntu insists in keeping Nautilus as the chosen default file manager, Ubuntu should patch this.
