User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20061201 Epiphany/2.18 Firefox/2.0.0.6 (Ubuntu-feisty)

This was reported on Launchpad : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/107392
by : https://bugs.launchpad.net/~jhansonxi



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click a file and select Open With Other Application
2. Select a new unassociated application to open the file
3. Right-click the file again
Result: New application not listed
4. Select any other file and then re-select the original file again.
5. Right-click the file
Result: New associated application now shows up in list



I can still reproduce it with Xubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Tribe 4
In some cases the list will never update even if a new app is selected as default. For instance, I right-clicked on an SMI file and selected Helix to be the default player. Helix opened it (but failed to play due to an unsupported protocol) but right-clicking it again did not show Helix as being the default, only Firefox. With other file types it was erratic, sometimes showing the association change immediately, sometimes only after trying a different file and then returning. It maybe related to MIME types specified in the desktop files (/usr/share/applications). The SMI file attached is what I used and it only plays with RealPlayer. I also tested WMV and MPEG files.
