Title:
  When double clicking an executable bash script in file manager, it
  opens in gedit rather than executing

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Download https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/4.0.4/tor-browser-
  linux64-4.0.4_en-US.tar.xz and extract it to a folder.

  Navigate to that folder in the GNOME file manager.

  Double click "start-tor-browser".

  Expected result: The script executes and launches the browser.

  Actual result: The script opens in gedit. Even when right clicking it,
  "Run" is not listed as an option anywhere. It's not even an option
  under "Open With... -> Other Application". The only way to run it is
  from a terminal.
