I lost important files when extracting older files from archive. I simply pressed "Extract" button in File-Roller toolbar and chose folder to extract. Unfortunately that folder contained newer files with the same name. I'm using latest Ubuntu version - 11.04 (Natty).
Please increase importance of this bug to High, as dataloss can occur!

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: file-roller

  When you drag and drop files from a compressed file to a folder
  containing files with the same name, it overwrites them without asking
  the user if he wants to do that.

  Reported using file-roller version 2.20.0-ubuntu1
  also affects to 2.24.1-0ubuntu2
