Bug Description

When I try to edit my bookmarks in Nautilus, the Nautilus code continually overwrites the "Name", even when I am trying to enter my own name.

Whoever wrote this dialog, tried to be too d*mned smart, without testing it properly, or getting feedback from users.

I have several bookmarks whose last subdirectory is, for example, "Documentation".

/media/ENKRYPTED_1/homer/engineering/src/Documentation
/nfs/box/backups/homer/engineering/src/Documentation
smb://192.168.21.115/c$/mosaic/Documentation

The d*ng that wrote this dialog thought that every bookmark should be called "Documentation".

Please don't discard or mess with what people are trying to do -- you're just upsetting us.

When I try to edit "Name", very often it trashes what I'm entering, replacing it with "Documentation".

This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so does not expect a backport
