This problem usually arises when you have two Nautilus windows open, and
one is already in "location" mode, i.e. the address bar shows the text
of the path, call it window #2. If you minimize this window #2, activate
window #1, and hit "Ctrl+L", nothing happens. The worst part is that
even if you close the window #2, where you had it working, it will still
not work for window #1. If you then open window #3 and minimize it, hit
"Ctrl+L" in window #1, it will be applied to window #3 (!).

It is obviously a usability bug that has to do with incorrect code
design for handling "Ctrl+L" in multiple windows.

This problem affects all versions of Ubuntu using nautilus up to and
including 15.10, and will probably continue to affect 16.04 until
something is done about it.

@Vindicator, if what I described above is not what you are experiencing,
please let me know and I'll try to file a separate bug report.
