The bug is not limited to Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS or its Caja file manager, as GVFS is an open-source software used by numerous projects, including but not limited to the popular Nautilus file manager used by default in any GNOME-based GNU/Linux distro, such as Ubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, and Fedora Linux.
