Thanks for the link to issue 2960. Following up on that revealed that the behavior I observed was a case of unintended consequences, rather than a real error. Now that applications are valid targets for text actions, and since Calculate is a text action, this was the natural outcome. Calculate was ranked pretty high for me (I use it all the time), above the Open/Reveal action, hence the change in my experience. I believe that adjusting the action rankings is the proper way to deal with this.
I consider it a bit awkward that Calculate is a text action; too many text strings are not reasonable targets for Calculate. Nevertheless, I do see the use case, so I would not ask for anything to be changed. Just need to make sure that the initial/default rank for Calculate is low enough not to beat other more likely text actions. (I presume that the action rankings are adaptive, explaining why it was so high for me.)
