Public bug reported:
Suppose you want to quickly find a file starting with "M" in your home folder,
then:
1. Open nautilus (3.x)
2. Start (erroneously) typing something else, eg.,"B"
3. Intuitively (as in nautilus 2.x) you either press (a) "Backspace" or (b)
"Esc"
But:
(a) "Backspace" takes you to the parent dir, and
(b) "Esc" do nothing
You have to wait ~5 secs. to start typing again!
Even worse, sometimes, the small box showing the characters you're typing
doesn't appear at all. This is very confusing.
