Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

When opening a new window in nautilus the default focus is on the toolbar buttons rather than on the file chooser like in older versions. Surely the focus is much more useful on the file chooser so the keyboard can be used to perform actions on files (such as using the arrow keys to select a file/directory) immediately after opening the window?

No worries, however, this is perhaps slightly different? The focus for me is not on the sidebar dropdown but on the 'Up' button.
