Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
If you create a folder with a really long name it will somehow mess with the pathbar buttons, so nothing will be shown. Try to create a folder and call it "a folder with a really really long name that does not actually fit the address bar as it should". Open it and see what happens: the pathbar buttons, as well as the view and zoom buttons, disappear from the nautilus window.

Even if the name is not so long and it actually fits the address bar, it may be the case that there is only place for it in the bar. Try creating a folder and call it "a folder with a really really long name that even so still fits the address bar". Then open it and see what happens.
Parent folders are not shown. This defeats the whole purpose of the bar as a navigational element, and is therefore not efficient.
