Comment(by axeld):
StyledEdit is fine as a generic text/ handler IMO. What you tried to solve
was what should happen when the preferred handler is missing in action,
but ultimately this is a configuration issue. Your change weakens the
preferred application meaning for no good reason; you are making the user
configuration of this a lot harder than necessary this way, as one has to
choose a preferred application for all sub-types now to prevent some
random application from coming up.
If you want to have a smart solution, I think the best would be to only
fall back to an application supporting the type instead of a preferred
one, if a) there is no preferred app, or b) if the sub-type already
overrides the preferred super-type application (but the override couldn't
be opened). IMO this would neatly solve your problem without the drawbacks
your solution introduced.
