Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

The path location bar of Nautilus doesn't appear by default when
configured so in gconf-editor, and disappears on navigation.

That is, when the gconf-editor entry under /apps/nautilus/preferences/ 
always_use_location_entry 
is checked, nautilus opens without it anyway.

Additionally, when browsing up or down using the back/forwards or parent 
buttons, after having used the ctrl-L short-cut to bring up the location bar, 
the path location bar disappears again. Every time!
While that second part of the complaint might sound similar to bug report 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/27064
I do not believe it is, as it has nothing to do with the length of the path.

1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter
the problem,

a) close all nautilus windows
b) check the entry /apps/nautilus/preferences/ always_use_location_entry 
c) open nautilus via the 'home' places menu item

2. the behavior you expected, and

My home directory being shown in Nautilus with path location bar
visible.

3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as
possible).

No visible path location bar


1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the 
problem,

Open a single Nautilus window, and ensure path location bar is visible via 
ctrl-L.
Navigate one step out of that current directory

2. the behavior you expected, and

Expected that the path location bar remains in place and visible,
showing the new 'current directory' of that instance of Nautilus.

3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as
possible).

On navigation action (back/forwards/parent) path location disappears.
