Typing letters should select the file of which the name starts with them, but now nautilus acts weird.

[Nick Guletskii]

In previous versions of Ubuntu, typing in nautilus selects the first file that starts with that sequence. In Oneiric, in most cases it doesn't. When it does, the sequence field comes up but when I try to erase characters from it using backspace, it sends me back in directory visit history.

This is very annoying because I am used to only navigating directories with my keyboard.

Make temporary directory with subdirectories 'ab', 'abc', 'abe', and 'b'. Navigate to the temporary directory from it's parent.
