Navigating through folders using keyboard not longer possible due to missing reset of searchfield

[1448412]

As soon as you start typing the name of a directory or file, nautilus will display your input in the lower right corner of it's window and select the first file matching the pattern. If return is pressed on a directory, nautilus changes to that directory and you should be able to repeat the process, the box in the lower right corner normally starts anew from empty.

While this was true before the update to oneiric, this no longer works in oneiric: If I go to my home directory and type "De<Return>da" nautilus does change to the Desktop folder but therein it does not select the "data" directory on my Desktop. The lower right windows reads "Deda". So it seems the Input "De" does not get reset as in the preceding versions.

This bug makes using the keyboard very inefficient, if not impossible.

i experienced the same problem too.... i always use keyboard to browser through layers of folders, but now since 11.10 i have to go back to mouse clicks. i really regret for upgrading ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10... this is NOT better at all.
