Thank you for your bug report, the 'extract here' option is directly handled by nautilus which uses libarchive, the bug doesn't seem to happen here on a random .deb tested. Could you share one that trigger the problem for you? (does it still happen after a nautilus restart? do you have any error in your journalctl log?)
