Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 15.04
file-roller 3.14.2-0ubuntu5

Reproduce:
Open an archive and click extract. In the directory browser press Ctrl+H to show hidden folders. Cancel and close archive manager.

Expected:
This should have no effect on the file browser in general after archive manager is closed.

Actual outcome:
Hidden files and folders are shown by default every time a file manager window is opened.

Workaround:
Same as reproduce, this time press Ctrl+H to hide hidden folders. The setting applies to file manager.
