[Bug 888222] [NEW] Can't type to select folder in Nautilus

 

Public bug reported:

when in ubuntu 11.10 beta I opened nautilus clicked in the main window and typed the first letters of folder 1 name until it highlighted it, then pressed "enter" which opened the folder, but inside folder 2 I cannot keep typing to search for the next folder name.  It seems to inhibit typing, until I click anywhere in the main window again, then type folder 2, press enter, then I cannot type anything to search for folder 3 and so on. 
In ubuntu 11.04 I open nautilus and just begin to type because I know the specific folder names I going to - for example: Open nautilus, type k-e-, and highlights "Kevin", press enter, It opens Kevin folder. Then type b-i-l- and it hightlights "bills" folder, press enter and it opens. This is not happening in nautilus 3 of ubuntu 11.10 beta.
