Bug#982735: nautilus: cannot run executable programs or scripts

[Svjatoslav Agejenko]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.38.2-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: svjatoslav at svjatoslav.eu

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I have lots of executable scripts that I used to run on the daily basis using
Nautilus
for years. After I switched to Debian 11 Nautilus would not execute them
anymore.
I red from the internet that ability to run executable files was removed
from Nautilus at some point but afer Gnome developers recognized their mistake
thy reverted that restriction.

Does Nautilus version that is packaged with Debian 11 have ability to execute
files ? It does not work for me for some reason.
