Right, that's a confusing case. You can change it from the preferences dialog but that's not obvious
That particular issue has been resolved Ubuntu with that change https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=2e1ac987268cd57349cdc2763d2442b532ce3c49 Now toggling the settings is changing the stored preference as well.

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.
