Bug Description

This has happened to me now for the second time, that I have been using Nautilus quite happily to rename stuff, search for stuff, etc, and then suddenly I am not able to input any information into it from my keyboard, I am unable to rename files, or search for things because that requires me to be able to give it keyboard input. I can unable to run any keyboard shortcuts or anything. And restarting Nautilus does not fix the problem, so I find that I have to restart my entire my machine, and then things go back to normal. But this will just happen out of the blue, nothing special before hand, but will just suddenly occur.
