Bug Description
after upgrading to 16.04 from 14.04, I found that all file open dialog lost the address bar (location entry). The only thing to navigate between folders is the breadcrumb bar. Every path change requires a dozen of clicking, while before I could just paste the path and done. This is a big inconvenience.
after googling, I found tons of reports to restore the location entry using the below command
gsettings set org.gnome.
or
dconf write /org/gnome/
however, this fails to work on my system, I got
fangq@taote:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.
(process:11686): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: GDBus.Error:
I would like to get a workaround to revert to the previous setting (either location entry is displayed by default, or can be re-enabled by clicking a button on the dialog). Also, I would suggest the developers to consider adding this feature back. For people who use Linux a lot, clicking is just not fast enough!

The screenshot is a gtk one, the issue sounds like an upstream one though
