Thanks for the bug report, and the screenshot. No worries about it being blurry, it does show what you're describing.

I confirmed the behavior on git-master. The behavior looks intentional, but I understand that it's not doing what you want. I'll pass this along as a feature request to allow showing the full list of associated applications rather than a fixed number. One idea would be "show more..."

I appreciate you spent your valuable time reading my bug report and reproducing the issue I described. I hope it gets fixed soon. In the meantime are there any workarounds to make all applications show up in the open with menu?
Comment 3 TraceyC 2025-09-11 08:14:17 UTC
Unfortunately, I don't know of a workaround to make everything show up. You would have to use "Open with .. -> Other application" for now.
