can we make it so this isn't the default behaviour? |
As already stated this isn't the default behavior.

I would be fed up too. It will be interesting to know why, on Fedora, you have to do this. I would love to hear from other Fedora users their experience.

The behavior you see on your system doesn't happen in Windows or Mac OSes and I'm willing to bet the vast majority of Linux users don't experience this behavior either.
Good Luck in identifying and getting corrected the cause of your system allowing the identifying of mime types to automatically cause an association.
