This problem usually arises when you have two Nautilus windows open, and
one is already in "location" mode, i.e. the address bar shows the text
of the path, call it window #2. If you minimize this window #2, activate
window #1, and hit "Ctrl+L", nothing happens. The worst part is that
even if you close the window #2, where you had it working, it will still
not work for window #1. If you then open window #3 and minimize it, hit
"Ctrl+L" in window #1, it will be applied to window #3 (!).

It is obviously a usability bug that has to do with incorrect code
design for handling "Ctrl+L" in multiple windows.

This problem affects all versions of Ubuntu using nautilus up to and
including 15.10, and will probably continue to affect 16.04 until
something is done about it.

@Vindicator, if what I described above is not what you are experiencing,
please let me know and I'll try to file a separate bug report.

Title:
  Nautilus "Enter Location" Stops Working

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Earlier, I had been able to use CTRL-L for "Enter Location" and it
  worked. At some point I had pressed ESC to revert back to the button-
  based paths.

  Later on, with that same window open, I came back and tried CTRL-L and the path didn't switch back to the textbox.
  Even going to "Go"->"Enter Location" did nothing.

  While writing this up, I did a test by closing that window, then opening a new "Files" window and CTRL-L worked right off the bat.
  This wasn't my first experience with that "bug", but enough times for me to finally submit it when it happened.

  Hopefully the data submitted will provide the information needed to
  find the cause.
