Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-02-23 11:40:49 UTC 
That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/32589

"1. Click on "Home Folder" in the tree view
2. Press Ctrl-L and enter any samba location ("smb://..."). Press Enter 3. Click on "Home Folder" in the tree view again.

-> Nautilus thinks I am still in my home folder and ignores the click.

Nautilus version: 2.13.91-0ubuntu1"

This also happens for non-special locations that can't be shown in the side pane tree. E.g., if you configure nautilus not to show hidden files (which also hides hidden dirs) and then enter a hidden dir the previous dir isn't deselected in the side pane tree.
Hiding are re-showing the side pane "fixes" this (well, actually it always deselects the dir even if it shouldn't, so it's actually another bug, but one that works well together with this bug).
Comment 2 Fabio Durán Verdugo 2010-09-04 04:01:48 UTC 
This bug was reported against a version which is not supported any more. Developers are no longer working on this version so there will not be any bug fixes for it.
Can you please check again if the issue you reported here still happens in a recent version of GNOME and update this report by adding a comment and adjusting the 'Version' field?

Again thank you for reporting this and sorry that it could not be fixed for the version you originally used here.

Without feedback this report will be closed as INCOMPLETE after 6 weeks.
Comment 3 Marcus Sundman 2010-09-05 22:42:49 UTC 
Happens in Nautilus 2.30.1.
Comment 4 Fabio Durán Verdugo 2010-09-06 00:12:11 UTC 
Thank for reply Marcus.
Comment 5 William Jon McCann 2012-07-20 12:03:52 UTC 
This bug should no longer be present with the latest Nautilus redesign.
