Bug Description
When a user adds a path to the pathbar manually, a leading slash does not make the path an absolute path. However, when a user starts its entry with '../', Files does recognize it should navigate up one directory...
I think it makes sense that when a leading slash is typed, the additional path is treated as an absolute path. The problem now is that Files automatically fixes lower/ upper-case letters. For example, when I'in my home folder and want to navigate to /usr, Files ignores the leading slash and converts the small u to a capital U as I have the Ubuntu One folder in my home directory... This conversion is good in itself, but makes it difficult to navigate to a directory by only typing text as the upper-case U has to be manually fixed into a small u in some cases.

I think we need some rethinking of the path bar, see bug #1086926.
