Daniel, thanks for your heroic efforts to reproduce the issue I described. I just followed your list of steps above with a fresh install of 14.04, fully updated. And I still see the bug!
To be clear, after your steps above: 9) Open a Nautilus window on your home directory. 10) Click the list view icon. 11) With the mouse, click on the Desktop directory (the first item in the list). 12) Type "t". The Templates directory will be selected. 13) Press Escape. Templates will still be selected. 14) Press the down arrow key. Documents (the second item in the list) will now be selected. This is unexpected: Videos should be selected at this time. 15) Type 't' again. Templates will be selected again, but a pale orange rectangle (i.e. the secondary selection) will still be visible around Documents, which is unexpected. 16) Press Escape again. The secondary selection rectangle will still be visible. 17) Press the down arrow again. Now Downloads will be selected, but Videos should be. What happens if you follow these steps? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find Status in Nautilus: Invalid Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without controversy: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus- list/2012-August/msg00002.html Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories. I personally find this annoying. If I want to search, I'll click the search icon. Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great for that. Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
