Bug description:
problem occurs with :
a) ubuntu 20.04.2 | gnome version 3.36.8 | X11
b) fedora 34 | gnome 40.0.1 | wayland
the latest version of gnome archive manager which is 3.36.3 fails to
extract a .gz file which it used to do earlier.
here are 2 links to 2 separate versions of hard disk sentinel linux
version :
1. https://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin/hdsentinel-018c.gz
2. https://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin/hdsentinel-019c-x64.gz
when i try to extract both the above mentioned files by right clicking
& then extract here all i get is an empty folder with nothing
extracted in it.
if i open the gnome archive manager 3.36.3 from the applications menu
& then try to extract the 1st file hard disk sentinel version 018c the
extraction is successful.
but if i open the gnome archive manager 3.36.3 from the applications
menu & then try to extract the 2nd file hard disk sentinel version
019c it only makes a copy of the .gz file.
the earlier version of gnome archive manager which is default / built-in the
ubuntu 20.04.2 iso
did not have this problem it is only after the update that the gnome archive
manager fails to perform.
