Bug Description

I have to click through lots of directories to select the location I want to open. It would be nice to be able to manually enter this information, i believe the older gnome open dialogs allowed this.

Well - You can type in the address... and the names of the directories are auto-completed (very annoying), but pressing enter fails to set that as the active directory.

Please fix
