That is just the thing. It does get available in the list of 
applications allowed to open that object, and I mark the Text Editor the 
default (by selecting it in the list). If I right click on it and select 
"open with", then all available options except the one I chose as 
default appears, and choosing e.g. NEdit makes NEdit open the file. But 
if I double click the file it will not open and the warning appears as 
before.

Can anyone confirm that this is a bug?
