Double clicking on bash script gives me an error but running it from terminal works fine?

Question

The script simply contains torsocks ./monero-wallet-cli --daemon-address blablabla.onion:18081 which gives me execvp: Exec format error. After realizing that I am in fact stupid I added #!/bin/sh to the start which got rid of the error, but upon double clicking nothing still happened. Mind you, the script works perfectly when being run from the terminal, as in ./filename.sh. It's marked as an executable. Is my system broken? I'm using Ubuntu Impish 21.10 and haven't changed any major settings. Just installed programs for coding and what-not, so it's a pretty clean & new install.

Double clicking on script opens it in editor. To run it , right click on it and select Run as a program — pasman pasmański, Jan 01 '22 at 12:01
@pasmanpasmański It doesn't though, nothing open when I double click on it. — shook_one, Jan 01 '22 at 12:29
This is the expected behavior. Scripts are run, not double clicked. Not sure what you've expected. — mikewhatever, Jan 02 '22 at 10:17

The ability to run scripts by double clicking on them is deprecated. I remember doing this which is why I was so confused about it not working anymore. I guess I was wrong.
