[Bug 875646] Re: Typing letters should select the file of which the name starts with them, but now nautilus acts weird.

 

Make temporary directory with subdirectories 'ab', 'abc', 'abe', and
'b'.  Navigate to the temporary directory from it's parent.

Letter   Nautilus
Typed   Selection
a                ab
b               ab
e               abe

Title:
  Typing letters should select the file of which the name starts with
  them, but now nautilus acts weird.

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In previous versions of Ubuntu, typing in nautilus selects the first
  file that starts with that sequence. In Oneiric, in most cases it
  doesn't. When it does, the sequence field comes up but when I try to
  erase characters from it using backspace, it sends me back in
  directory visit history.

  This is very annoying because I am used to only navigating directories
  with my keyboard.
