Yes, this works for me too. So you have to specify the directory for extraction,
even though "extract here" already implies that the files should be extracted to
$PWD? Weird.

But yes, the problem lies not within file-roller but within
"thunar-archive-plugin". A snipplet of the
/usr/lib/thunar-archive-plugin/thunar-archive-plugin/file-roller.tap:

Since the "--extract-here" is omitted, files are extracted directly to $folder
which leads to the behavior I described.

Shall I post a new report to that package or will you just move it over?
