Title: Nautilus type-ahead plus mouse Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: OS: Ubuntu 12.04 amd64, Ubuntu 12.10 amd64, up-to-date Nautilus on each. Reproduce: Open directory with lots of subdirs (e.g. 'A...', ... , ''TRD001', 'TRD002', 'TRD003', ...), type first letter of target (e.g. 'T') to jump in that region, then select it ('TRD003') with the mouse (single-click open) because that's faster than typing it out or using the unintuitive up/down arrows (left/right are reserved in this context), especially if you have either a trackpoint or one hand on the mouse already. Expected: Nautilus should do the same af is it was typed out, then the Enter key was hit: enter the directory and dismiss the search box. Observed: The search box in the bottom right corner stays with the letter 'T' typed, even though we changed into the new subdirectory, making a follow-up type-ahead awkward. This has been handled correctly in the previous LTS release: using type-ahead, then clicking anywhere inside the current directory (both _empty space between icons_ and another dir/file) made the search box disappear. The current behaviour is slowing down productivity with Nautilus, and since most of the botched up Nautilus type-ahead behaviour in recent releases has been corrected by now, I hope this one will get it's fix too. Another application doing this correctly and intuitively is Firefox with find-as-you-type turned on.
