Bug Description
problem occurs with :
a) ubuntu 20.04.2 | gnome version 3.36.8 | X11
b) fedora 34 | gnome 40.0.1 | wayland
the latest version of gnome archive manager which is 3.36.3 fails to extract a .gz file which it used to do earlier.
here are 2 links to 2 separate versions of hard disk sentinel linux version :
1. https:/
2. https:/
when i try to extract both the above mentioned files by right clicking & then extract here all i get is an empty folder with nothing extracted in it.
if i open the gnome archive manager 3.36.3 from the applications menu & then try to extract the 1st file hard disk sentinel version 018c the extraction is successful.
but if i open the gnome archive manager 3.36.3 from the applications menu & then try to extract the 2nd file hard disk sentinel version 019c it only makes a copy of the .gz file.
the earlier version of gnome archive manager which is default / built-in the ubuntu 20.04.2 iso
did not have this problem it is only after the update that the gnome archive manager fails to perform.

update :
i installed xarchiver on ubuntu & tried extracting the 2 files in the links posted above by me but the results were exactly the same as with file-roller.
i thought maybe the source files in the above links from hard disk sentinel are corrupted so i downloaded both the above mentioned files on a windows computer & tried extracting them with 7zip. the results were flawless, the extraction was successful & the contents worked perfectly.
bottom line, both gnome archive manager / file-roller & xarchiver failed to extract the above mentioned .gz files on ubuntu 20.04.2
waiting in anticipation for a resolution.
