@Vaclav Petras (wenzeslaus) #91 For now the only solid fix for the bug is this:
1) Install PCManFM via Ubuntu Software Center 2) <ctrl>+<alt>+T or a terminal 3) Do this: (works on both Gnome Shell and Unity) xdg-mime default pcmanfm.desktop inode/directory sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/nautilus-autostart.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart /nautilus-autostart.desktop.bak sudo nano /etc/xdg/autostart/pcmanfm-autostart.desktop 4) Copy-paste the following in the Nano-editor you opened in 3): [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=File Manager PCManFM Exec=pcmanfm --desktop OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; NoDisplay=true 5) Save changes with <ctrl>+O, <enter>, <ctrl>+X 6) Do this in the terminal: favorites=$(gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites | sed 's/nautilus.desktop/pcmanfm.desktop/') gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites "$favorites" 7) pcmanfm --desktop-pref Select your wallpaper. Note that for Gnome Shell the "stretched"-mode for the wallpaper works best. Congrats!

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?
