[Bug 1460483] [NEW] File Properties "Open-With" Won't Set Default

 

Public bug reported:

It used to work, but now I'm trying to associate gedit with a .contact (xml) file and it won't switch from Google Chrome as the default.
Right-mouse on .contact file
Click "Open-With"
Select "gedit" (related applications)
Click "Set as default"
The highlighted selection switches to the current Default Application that is Google-Chrome and doesn't switch to gedit.
