Actually I forgot to mention that I'm now using 3.26.0-1, and the 
behaviour is still the same.

I also may have not been clear enough: It's not just on some particular 
documents: The inability to open a document occurs on every kind of 
document. So any document can be used to reproduce (any text file, 
image, music, pdf doc, etc.). I attach a simple text file example.

If you cannot reproduce it it means there is some configuration 
difference between our environments, but I have no idea where to start 
searching.
I don't know if it's relevant, but I'm using regular gnome, with a few 
extensions that make it behave more like traditional gnome 2, and I run 
in xorg (not wayland).
Feel free to ask me whatever other details of my configuration that may 
be relevant to debug that issue.
