Bug Description
Note: I don't know if this is a bug in Nautilus or in Unity, but I'm reporting it as a nautilus issue just to get the logs into the bug.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have Firefox opened.
2. Open the dash (by taping Super) and search for a folder's name.
3. Navigate to it (if necessary) and type Enter (or Return).
4. Nautilus will open in that folder, but you can't do anything in it with the keyboard and has to use the mouse.
What should happen instead:
4. Nautilus should open with focus, so you could search a file by typing or navigate using the arrow keys.
Workaround:
You can Alt-tab to the new opened folder and then it gets the focus. But this is annoying and kills the convenience of using the keyboard.
