In my case, the search-as-you-type feature is complete unresponsive. The search field is never shown and no file or folder is selected.
This is a _really_ frustrating bug. Typing to open folders is as natural to me (and probably many others) as tab-completion. It's easy to forget it's broken, so I'm constantly interrupted by having to grab my mouse and act like my elderly neighbour. -- 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/884597 Title: search as you type not working properly Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Open a browser window, for example your home directory. Make sure the files area has focus. Type 'doc' to select the Documents folder; Documents is highlighted. Pres Enter to open the Documents folder; the contents of your documents' folder are shown. Type the name of another file of older you can see to select it. You'll notice that: - the previous search is shown and whatever you type is appended to it. - the backspace key does not delete characters in the search as you type textbox, it moves to the upper folder instead.
