1. Open gedit, have the file browser displayed in the side panel.

2. Edit any file. Let's say you want to delete a character but somewhat
you decided to do it later after you check for some other files you
have.

3. Click on any file in the file browser (so the keyboard focus is now
on the selected file). Note that you set your Nautilus action
preferences to double click, not single click, so clicking on the file
simply focus the keyboard on the file, not opening it.

4. Drink come coffee. The idea is that your brain does not remember the
details of what you were doing (sometimes it happens when you're my age,
btw). All you have is a vague idea that you need to delete some
character.

5. Go back to gedit. Your see the file you are editing, you remember
that you wanted to delete the stupid character so you press the DEL
button on your keyboard.

6. The file with the focus (the one in the file browser side panel which
still has the keyboard focus) immediately goes to the trash bin, despite
your preferences to have Nautilus ask you before you delete a file. You
don't even realize that the file is gone because your eyes are on the
character and you are busy wondering why is it that you pressed the DEL
key and the stupid character is still there.
