But this is a serious problem, and this bug report has status "Won't Fix"
I think it's common practice to put application shortcuts on the desktop. It used to work fine in previous Ubuntu releases. I have a bunch of applications that I use frequently. It's very convenient to have their shortcuts on the desktop. How can a serious problem like this be ignored? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812880 Title: Executables on desktop won't launch on double-click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1812880/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
