I think it might be the gtk file selector. I noticed the behavior in nautilus so I thought it was nautilus. My bad.

The problem is that when I press any key nautilus jumps to searching for a file or folder starting with that letter instead of overwriting the folder name. So whatever I do I get a new folder always with Untitled Folder name. I have to rename it manually afterwards. I worked until 11.10 and the bug is present since the beta of 12.04.
