Bug Description

I use Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 64 bit, updated to Gnome 3.18 with the Gnome Staging PPA.

For some reason Nautilus crashed when I tried to open a file called Text.clu. There was no recommended application for it so I choose "View all applications" and selected one of two instances of gedit on the list (no idea why gedit was listed twice) and clicked Select. Gedit did not open, nothing seemed to happen until Nautilus crashed. Afterwards I got an error about Gedit not responding and later I got the crash report for Nautilus.

When I try to reproduce this Nautilus does not crash, but now Gedit is already selected as a recommended application, so I can't replicate everything I did the first time.
