[Bug 867976] [NEW] For long folder names, Nautilus navigation panel becomes empty

 

Public bug reported:

With the new design for the upcoming Oneric, the problem became sharp.
Look at the screenshot at http://tinypic.com/r/dpwjh2/7 : here's how navigation panel looks like: no folder buttons, no back, forward and search buttons.
Novice user not knowing about keyboard shortcuts will be completely lost.

Why won't you use ellipsis feature and maximum width constraint for path buttons?
It shouldn't be hard, and all required options have been for a long time in GTK.
