Public bug reported:
Generally, in nautilus, you could select a file by typing its name. If
you made a mistake typing, you could backspace in the search box and
correct it. This works even if the filename contains the space
character.
This bug only triggers when you are in a folder that contains a lot of
files (actually there should be as mush file as it reaches the nautilus
last row) .
In this case, you cannot type space character in the search box.
Moreover you cannot correct your mistake by typing backspace, instead,
typing backspace make nautilus goes one level up in filesystem
hierarchy.
To reproduce this bug:
in the terminal:
$ mkdir ~/bug
$ cd ~/bug
$ for i in `seq 1 200`; do touch $i; done
$ xdg-open ~/bug
Now, select nautilus window and type for example "A <space> B". Then
type <backspace>.
I tested this on several machines with oneiric (both clean install and
upgraded version from natty) and I was able to reproduce this bug.
Bug #872090 , Bug #857710 and Bug #879456 are related but not quite the
same.
