Adding Carlos to CC who worked on the MIME type changes upstream. Found this issue on system 'A', then updated system 'B' to find out it got the same problem after the upgrade. upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779795 I suspect this is also related to the most unwelcome change that double-clicking on zip and tgz files has also changed to default to "extract here" instead of the prior default of archive mounter. Extremely annoying when one has many compressed files which are only rarely viewed and which you only want to retain long-term in a compressed state. Natuilus now seems to assume that anything that could conceivably be expanded/decompressed ought to have that as its default action, with no way to override that choice of default. From the users standpoint, the process for setting or overriding whether extraction should be invoked for a file type by default should be no different than whether some other application should be invoked by default. At this point it appears that file extraction is "more equal" (in the "Animal Farm" sense) than any other application. *** Bug 1431404 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** For followers of this bug who haven't recently checked out the reference in comment 3, I was wrong, there IS a way to override this default behavior, either until the issue with .docx and simlar files that shouldn't be extracted is resolved, or if extraction by default is a behavior you just don't want for any compressed file format: With Files/Nautilus open, right click on Files on the top bar of the desktop, select Preferences, select Behavior tab, and under "Compressed Files" turn off the option "Extract the files on open". That allows the default application for the file type to be invoked. From a right-click menu, the action of "Extract Here" may still be explicitly selected for a file that is in a compressed format, it just won't be a forced default action. This new option is described somewhere, but is hard to discover if you don't already know it exists.

Though I didn't expect this behaviour to change on .docx and related files on an update.
