But you are actively clicking on a .vbs file, an "executable". The default action would be execute it (with wine). However, if it does not have the execute flag enabled, it would be a bug to try to execute it. Yes, I actively clicked on the VBS file in Ark, of course by mistake.
Execution bit is not necessary here. I created a test.vbs file on my KDE Plasma desktop and clicked on it. No warning was displayed, Wine executed the file. I also see this as a bug.
It is the default Windows action. Wine simply acts as Windows would.
But it is Linux who calls wine. Linux should not call wine to "open" a known executable file unless it has the executable bit. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
